"But what," badgers a relentless voice, "exactly are you doing out here? What are you accomplishing? What are you getting out of it? And what, oh especially what are you going to do with your life?"
The voice usually stops me. Knocks me down, kicks sand in my face. But this time, finally, I tell the voice to shut up. It's a stupid question, what are you going to do with your life. Setting out to do something with your life is like sitting down to eat a moose. Nobody ever did anything succussfully with their life. Instead they did something with their day. Each day.
Sunrise is birth. Sleep is death. Each day is your life.
Let the moose run. Eat some blueberries.

Leaving (For real this time!)
Well, the time has come. I ended up having to delay my flight because of visa reasons. Apparently it's really difficult to get a Chinese visa outside of Canada.
So now I'm off and ready to go. I don't fly out until Tuesday, but I'm heading down to Vancouver to visit family for one last time before I leave.
