The park people

I'm finding myself to be much more observant than normal as of late. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I'm leaving soon, so I'm trying to soak in all of the scents, scenery and people in this beautiful city of Ottawa. This morning on my leisurely walk to work, I couldn't help but notice all the park people. Scattered indiscriminately around confederation park were people. People of all different colours and social classes all just resting. One girl was soundly sleeping on her back on the edge of the fountain. Quite fascinating. I had the overwhelming feeling that they were all there just waiting for time to pass. Like waiting for your plane to board or your bus to come, they were time waiters. I can sympathize with that; of late I've found myself slipping into time waiting mode. I mustn't remain idle too long. I have too much absorb.

Half day of work today, and plenty of sunshine. No blockages today!
