The purpose of today’s post is two fold:
1. To avoid reading criminal law.
2. To maintain a regular habit of positing.
That’s it. Haven’t got too much too say right now. Went for a fantastic run this morning. It was rather gray out, but the air was cool and owls were still making their sound that they make. It reminded me of camping and waking up in the morning. I also saw two squirrels wrestling. And they were jumping and flipping around in a ball together. I know it sounds unbelievable. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a thing. I was wishing I had my camera so that you would believe me.
I am noticing patterns today. Patterns in my life and patterns in the architecture around me. That’s one thing that is nice about the more time that you spend in the world. You can find yourself in situations and say, ah yes, I have been faced with this before. Let me go back and see how I previously worked this out and see if there’s anything I might learn. Unfortunately, that thought process usually occurs too late, if at all. Or worse, when you do realize the pattern, you realize that you navigated the situation way better the first time around and that you have botched it this time and then you wonder if that is an indication of your general regression. This is the situation I currently find myself in. I would go into it and give you some context, but I am pretty sure the conclusion will be: Yep. You botched it. And, yes, honey, you are regressing.
Regarding patterns in architecture, there is a square pattern in the iron railing leading up to the room with big windows in which I currently find myself. And the pattern also occurs in the windows. At first it seemed like the kind of nice subtle pattern that you can pat yourself on the back for recognizing, but now I look around more and I realize everything is squares and it’s obnoxious. Even the air vents seem to have been specially made to be square-shape. Now it’s upsetting, which means that it’s time for me to move on to something else, which regrettably has to be reading criminal law.

i heart reading your blog, genevieve. i hear you on the patterns. i'm seeing the patterns all the time and i'm trying to figure out how to respond to the situation so as not to land myself back where I started only not quite where i started because perhaps now it's years later. easier said than done. they say being aware is the key, the most important part but just because i'm aware doesn't mean i'm changing. let's start looking for patterns in hope. hope patterns. hope in patterns. hope.
