Great Sand Hills

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Calgary, 2002.05.05

We spent the day toodling about in the Great Sand Hills again, then got back for about 5 PM. The last 200 kilometres or so were under varying amounts of snow and sleet; this is May!

Oh, and I got the post office people to cough up the registered letter to my brother (armed, as he was, with an old copy of my passport and a letter from me, and supporting calls from the Canada Post call centre in Winterpeg. And it turns out it was from my landlords; they wanted to tell me that there was going to be a $5 increase in my rent in August. Big deal!

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery
