Night Bus

I am the kind of person who seldom gets bored. In fact, my problem is that there's just so many things that I want to do, like read more books, watch more movies, have longer conversations with friends, sleep longer, visit my nieces more, paint/sketch more, exercise regularly -- but there aren't enough hours in a day. I often find myself trying to squeeze in all these things in the little gaps in my busy daily routine. What I don't usually have time for, is the worry-less, free-spirited, spontaneous time for doing nothing, or pondering about life and the universe. And the only time that I am able to do this is when I'm in a long night bus ride to or from the province. The anonimity and aloneness, coupled with the darkness and the lull from the moving bus somehow gives me comfort and a sense of calm -- an almost tranquil state that I am able to think about things and ponder about the future, or the past... Almost completely forgetting about the present. Such night is tonight. July 9
