So I changed my mind about my alone time...I like climbing

Blog Week January 26, 2010

Solitary Effort: So I actually spend a lot of time alone I think. It’s weird because most of the time I spend with myself I really enjoy. I have a very loud nature and most of the time its because I think outloud. I actually do this a lot in class. I yell out but the only reason is because I like to acknowledge my own thoughts (mostly because I find them entertaining). Anyways, the other day I put on some music and climbed on my climbing wall. And like normal I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it because I get to let go of everything else in the world and just be in the moment. Climbing is like a ballet. There area a number of different moves that are graceful and delicate. On the other hand, there are also points where it requires pure strength the balance between the two creates a situation where the balance between the two things are constantly at odds, but when worked together they create this great synergy where gravity is insignificant and you are a body moving through space. Cosmically hoakie I know, but that is what it feels like. Also, I really enjoy solving problems. When I climb, I have to figure out the best sequences s and body positions, ways to grab the holds and places to put my feet. This is like a living moving puzzle that I can unlock with min and body. It is completely intimate to myself.
