One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

once upon a freezing cold winter afternoon i hiked up in behind lake louise. i was in a terrible mood (i was living there and having issues!) and just wanted to be moving to work through my thoughts. i finally got to a point where i couldn't go any further and had to turn around. what i saw was amazing. the trees covered in snow. the blue sky. but it was what i heard that i will remember forever. the nothingness. you get so used to white noise in life. traffic....power lines...the hum of the computer. out there i heard nothing for the first time in my life. it was deafening. i thought my heartbeat would start an avalanche. i will never forget it!

Teach, Learn, Share

i want to learn everything! i'm afraid i don't have much to teach. um. hmm. i could explain the very basics of roller derby maybe lol. i can show you maybe a half a dozen chords on a guitar. oh i know! i can teach you tricks of dealing with copious amounts of cat fur!!
