   L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣  L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

| What's a vacation? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ An ideal vacation? When I worked I mostly didn't take one. If work was scheduled on a Holy Day I had to ask for the day off. That usually meant a vacation day. It wasn't automatic. The boss could always refuse... May all the Christians out there who get a paid Christmas day off without asking ponder that... So. Now I write and travel. When I am doing one or the other I rarely take a "day off". Most people think I'm vacating (pun intended) when I travel. Rubbish... They're wrong. Traveling is lots of work on a budget like mine. It's rarely quiet, restful, relaxing... And once home they think that because I'm old and "retired" that means I sit in my Barcalounger with a piña colada in front of my 70" screen TV and order pizza. If they only knew... Familiar with the phrase "a vacation from my vacation"? I "work" at home and away. When I travel, I take a gazillion photos, stress over timetables, reservations, pinch-my-pennies. I rarely write. A vacation day when traveling is realizing that thát day I will do nothing, as in abso-f-ing nothing. Sometimes my body just quits. I've learned that it's important to listen to it. Hard to go anywhere without a body. When I'm home, I write, I read, I visit friends. (FYI: I don't have a TV, don't eat pizza, despise pineapple unless it's fresh and don't drink alcohol.) A vacation moment may be giving myself the permission not to write, not to talk to people, to go on a walk that I desperately need to do daily but don't. Any break from my boring routines. But, you ask what would be my ideal vacation? My ideal vacation would be an all-inclusive around-the-world educational cruise. It would probably kill me. Peace, Kåre 4.juni.2019 102.510 |
