twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2014.02.18

I took The Boy to a public meeting held by the city to look into whether they're going to build the cycle lanes we've been working for. Ken asked a couple of questions, but he couldn't take much more than half an hour. We met the Councillor for our ward, and I met the Executive Director of Cycle Toronto. The information presented by the city was good, and I learned that the city has sensors in the street to detect bicycles. Who knew!

I'm pleased with Ken's interest in the whole thing. It's only what one could expect from a six year old, but it's there.

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
