I have been here in Victoria for over two weeks. In some ways it seems like I have been here forever – but that feeling really comes from my profound connection with the gentle pace of this city. Of course there I know I cannot stay; there are other places I must be –things I must do.
Even if I could say I would not simply because in time the gentle pace will become tiresome. Victoria is not a place to live but a place to visit, to rest, recover, relax and restore. Already I fell a restlessness building in me. One more week and I will be ready to leave again and to return to my studies in Calgary. But for now I savour the time I have here, especially the time I have with Helen and Bob and Samara.
Tonight I will be having dinner with two other friends Michèle and Erik.But now I find my mind shifting back to Calgary where my roommate Margo has been dealing with the less pleasant side of life.
