the thinking rock


I'm back in the real world. I didn't want to come back. I think there were a few others on the trip who were thinking the same thing. Apparently Pumpkin Head told Jacks to turn right and head north instead of coming back to Sydney. Lady Design and I were debating the benefits of doing something similar whilst on the freeway.

But it is good to be back. Holidays are to be savoured like a fine wine, and good cheese!
I am at my parents for a couple of days. Spending time catching up on washing, and writing a talk for this weekend.

One of the most relaxing things about the week last week was that I found a 'thinking rock' nearby. I walked up most mornings, and/or afternoons and spent time thinking. Mainly thoughts about basking in God's creation, but also thoughts like 'what on earth am I doing at college?', 'what does it look like for the sun to rise inland and set over the ocean unlike in these eastern states?'.....

and lots of other random things

and lots of other random things...

'Why do I suddenly feel like I have a lot in common with scary Shane from the latest series of survivor'
'Is it possible to not think whilst on the thinking rock?'
'Come to that, it is possible to actually think whilst not sitting on the thinking rock?'
'Hmmmm what is that pelican doing'

I never made it down to the thinking rock myself- which is probably why my holiday was filled with much more mundane thoughts such as 'Damn it- I'm never going to beat Bec at Ticket to Ride'.

'Damn it- I'm never going to beat Bec at Ticket to Ride'

possibly not, maybe we will have to have a re-match!
