Are you still out there? Was I missed?
Ten years ago, I started this blog, journalling my discovery of art and beauty over a year.
As expected, much has happened in the last 9 years since I stopped writing actively. Today, I will reintroduce myself to blogging—putting pen to paper once again. In time, I will give snippets of life in the past decade, updating readers of the twists and turns one traverses in a decade of living.
In April, when staying in place was dictated to most of the world, I searched for ways to satisfy my curiosity. I head out on my bicycle daily, exploring a different street each day. I embrace empty streets during early pandemic times. Normally, all my attention is concentrated on safe biking on Toronto streets. For the first time in years, I take short glances at the many buildings that had been erected in the interim. I have the luxury to stop and admire, no longer rushing at my usual frenetic "life to the fullest” pace. I search for beauty, whimsy, surprise. I spy an ornate art deco archway, a curious street art tableau, an expressive sculpture, new public spaces.
Dimensions of my world has shrunk: boundaries delineated by my stamina on a bike. Yet much is here to inspire. Let me take you on this renewed journey to explore the world.
