a north wind

Toronto, 2011.10.02

Our friend Yaguchi-san is visiting; sadly, her visit coincides with an extremely rare north wind and it's currently 10C.

It's ridiculously cold; yesterday I was cycling in shorts, today I'm wearing my middle-warmth jacket. Before today, I have never seen a wind power turbine facing north.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
