frozen waterpipes in the house make a showerless day. the temperature dropped over one night from around zero to minus sixteen. i walked over to the lake in an attempt to make my watermatch of the day. lake, read: sea. more or less endless water. the next object to be called cold was my nose. the air cold and wet, had a slippery feel to it, like the skin of a fish.
watched some wonderful documentaries about the Inuit.
some people make new years resolutions and apparently many of them have 'doing something new' as a favourite. despite a mind free from resolutions, i did for every day in 2010 something 'new'.
day one, walking the wrong way in a canadian forest, followed by a hitchhikers ride on a snowscooter.
day two, circling for one hour clockwise on ice. skating under a near-full blue moon.
texture of warmth to come: bed.
goodnight, and magic morning.
your canadian warrior on horseback,
S
1 opmerking:
it sounds like belgium these days: frozen waterpipes and freezing cold- a winter we have not had for many years!-
but we do not have lakes that look like seas- or canadian forests, or snowscooters...
dear sarah, good morning to you...
