This autumn has been the utmost delightful. It was motionless, serene. As if the wind was paralyzed by the way sun rays penetrate through the crowns of poplars, it bothered no leaves; it touched none. This year autumn did not hurry; the whole appearance was of satisfaction of its elongated existence. Leaf foliage rotted gradually. Geese on the pond resembled in laziness that was not alarmed by an unexpected blizzard from the mountains. And, the spider web, illuminating under the afternoon light, gilded just like a line in a boy's hands who is learning to fly fishing. I could observe it, finally, with no intrusive feeling that much of those delights shall be over sooner than wanted.

Commitment has a certain dosage of risk in it.

A completely normal desire of a human being to belong, to be a part of a certain group, however, sometimes acquires traits of a radicalism where one does all possible to be a part of a group appealing to him, and later to protect his privilege meaning that only that style, that group deserve respect and appreciation.

Fashionable Prejudice: No Longer A Victim
A completely normal desire of a human being to belong, to be a part of a certain group, however, sometimes acquires traits of a radicalism where one does all possible to be a part of a group appealing to him, and later to protect his privilege meaning that only that style, that group deserve respect and appreciation.
Just yesterday I watched the video my sister-in-law created on ten days of our driving through Vancouver Island. Some moments already dared to escape my memory, thus it was a necessary refreshment before I would write down the itinerary that hopefully would be helpful to other travellers. Watching that video made me wonder whether I would change anything in our routes, and I did not find such a desire in my mind.
