This is my fifth consecutive blog entry—kudos to me! This morning, I went out for my usual walk. The world feels busy today. It’s Election Day in the USA, an important day for America’s future. But honestly, I don’t know much about it, and I’m not too concerned. After all, I feel that whoever wins won’t have an immediate impact on my life.
Well, I guess I should care at least a little, because as an immigrant in Canada, these things will likely affect me down the road. But still, it doesn’t feel like my concern. Or maybe it’s simply not something I can control. The world is busy, but my world feels small. In my world, there’s me, my fiancée, and the close connections around me. That’s it.
My world may be small, but at the same time, it feels like it’s expanding. In a way, there’s no true border between my world and the world at large because everything is connected.
Okay, I’ll admit it—I’m writing this to sound a little cool. Anyway, back to my morning walk. One corner was so beautiful, lined with a red maple tree and fallen leaves, and the sky had this pinkish glow. I wondered why the sky was so pink, and then I turned toward the sun. There, I saw a stunning red sky.
I wanted to share that moment, so I took a picture and sent it to my fiancée. She was still sleeping, though. Around the same time, a friend messaged me, so I shared it with her too. Sharing your happiness is a good feeling. Once I reached out, I felt more connected to others, and my world started expanding.
