"A Change of Climate"
I’ve left my job. A week from today I move to Melbourne, Australia. Quit a great job in this economic climate? Okay, traditional rationality is apparently not my strong point. But the details will work themselves out later.
Probably.
And if they don’t, I’ll still have my girl, my motorcycle, an education, a tent, and leftover pocket change for snacks, gasoline, and secondhand books.
So what am I going to do? You know all those things you mean to do someday but know you’ll probably never get around to? That seems a good place to start…
"Everything was new again, mysterious, promising; all that had been could recur, and many new things as well. It was long, long since he had looked out upon the day and the world and seen them as so unburdened, so beautiful and innocent." (-Hesse)
