one thing leads to another (how rain causes hunger)

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2011.07.26

It was raining pretty hard yesterday morning. So naturally I wound up not taking my wallet to work today.

With the rain coming down in thunderous if sporadic bouts, I decided to take transit rather than my bike. Which meant transferring everything from my pannier (cycle bag) to my little urban backpack.

And that's why, when I hopped on my bike as usual this morning, the wallet stayed in the backpack and didn't come with me.

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.
