Toronto, Ontario
The Sun
The sun was beckoning to me in the second half of the
afternoon. It shone strong like a laser
from the westerly direction. It was directly
blinding me, as I ambled along Bloor Street, and it created silhouettes of
moving pedestrians, some who passed me to the right, some to the left.
I took to a park bench in Queen's Park, by the war memorial
plaque, and sat there for five minutes.
Inscriptions on it indicated places where Canadian soldiers fell during
the last century's two wars. Italy was
at the top of the list. I didn't know
our forces went there.
I shifted to Philosopher's Walk, nestled in the throng of
classy Victorian buildings at the university.
There must be lots of philosophies, as many as there are people. That could be 7.7 billion. Too much population, don't you think? They say it took 200,000 years of human
history for the world's population to reach 1 billion and only 200 years more
to reach 7 billion.
That is shocking! I
think that many bears would be more fun.
Finally, I swerved over on foot through posh Yorkville. People are generally happy, I believe it’s the sun that's doing it for
them. We could all do with a little more
vitamin D. We could all do with a little
more kindness. We could all do with a
little more walking, which invokes adventure, introspection and a sense of
feeling good in both body and spirit.
May the Source be with you!
