last tuesday, when i lost my phone in kensington, it was like i'd lost my ability to get in touch with my family back in burlington...like i'd lost all contact (i did lose all my contacts---so if i'm not calling or texting you, it's because i don't have your number anymore. sorry!) with the world. replacing it was a headache, since koodo was having a bad week too. stress!
and this past monday, my dearly beloved camera fell to a sudden death on a parking lot in front of the lindt chocolate outlet in cambridge. all throughout this spectacular week i've sorely noted its absence like a missing finger poking a hole in my heart. and now it's another expensive thing to replace, do i really need it, that's a lot of money to spend, etc...
weird how we can get so attached to THINGS. i can't leave my house without: my camera, my phone, my wallet, my sunglasses, my journal, my bible--all of these necessary. i can go for days without actually using any of them directly or meaningfully, but as soon as i am physically separated from any of them or prevented somehow from answering any creative or devotional urge, then i can't even operate. weeiirrrdddd!!!
(i'm not saying my bible is a silly thing to be dependent on. i'm saying it's silly to need to carry it around so much when actually i don't take the opportunity to read it all the time. silly.)
so i'm learning to cherish every moment with my camera---when i replace it!---, phone, wallet, sunglasses, journal, bible.
learning to make moments meaningful with people, around these things.

NO! Not the camera. I hope you get a new one....one day. I shall sorely miss your photography.
