YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

Oh Baby. I have a new computer. I followed in my good buddy Jeremy's footsteps and bought an ACER Aspire 3000, which means that I can get back into the swing of updating my various blogs.

So we will start here. I am living in Toronto again, and have been for just over a week. I have seen and visitted with many of my good friends from the City, and have enjoyed that.

I am enjoying my new environs, but I am also already feeling the grind of a new place, new ideas, new pressures, and new freedoms. For example, I need to relax. I am so fond of doing doing doing, and now have come to think that what I really need to do is rest, to chill out for a while and just be. I think that I have taken refuge in my many activities, skills, loves, and passions. Doing the stuff took the place of being myself. So I am hoping to re-learn how to just be.

And for that matter, I am now in a setting where there is SO much more to do that it becomes a little more challenging to leave time for being still, for contemplative prayer, for chilling, as they say.

So we will see if the country boy turned city man has what it takes to be real, to be himself in the bright lights of the big smoke. Can the river that spoke "peace" in St. Stephen keep speaking to me here? I think it can. I think it will.
