Do you ever feel like you are doing all the right actions, amd moving through your day, but without really living it? Like today I am just going through all the actions, but I haven't thought about them. I am just moving. It is not upsetting or disturbing, just odd. Maybe for today, my soul is taking a rest in the rhythm of life. Like when you just lie on your back in a lake and let the current carry you, not really caring where you go, but enjoying the soothing movement of the water under you. I wonder how long it will last before I start swimming again?
I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.
