something to pass the time

I’m laying in bed trying to fight off sleep a little longer.  It isn’t too late in the evening but a mild cold, the build up of weariness over the course of the week and my laziness is accelerating the process of wanting to retire for the night.  I have a half day left of work awaiting for me before the weekend.  With nothing planned, I don’t exactly know what I’m going to do with myself.

Another week of work and then I’ll be on pilgrimage.  I’ve only been able to think of it in abstract terms until recently.  The closer something gets, the easier it is for me to anticipate its coming.  I’m excited to be able to have some time away from the office.  I don’t know what to expect but I’m hoping that I can begin to refocus myself.  Although I’m 25, sometimes I feel like I’m just a kid.  I’m on track in one respect, it seems the more you learn, the more you know you understand nothing.  I weave in and out of  ideas, interactions, words on pages, moving from one thing to the next in search of inspiration. I suppose no matter how old one gets, we’re always struggling to move forward.  We take what we learn and apply it to the situations we encounter next.

In  a few more weeks time, I’m off to Spain for another small hiatus in routine.  I have a ticket.  I have a general idea of where I’ll be (looking to divide up my time between Seville, Cordoba and Granada).  The rest is more or less unplanned.  I’m hoping to reawaken some creative form, photography, writing, drawing or otherwise, while I’m there.  I’ll have more than my fare share of unfamiliar territory spark my imagination.  Expect the posting of a few photos to follow come the end of the year.

So this is where I am now.  Lost somewhere between here and there but trying my best to learn something from it.  That’s all I can do.
