I remember feeling violently car sick.. desperately trying to fall asleep as i sat cramped in sabina's small car. We crossed lake constanz then went round and round on endless winding roads for bout 4 hours or so... It was a long time before i fell into a sick kinda sleep.. and i was grumbling in my dreams wishing i never stepped into the car in the first place when a shout, 'LOOK!' woke me up and i saw thiiiiiiis. THE ALPS. its wat i would say i remember most bout my trip to germany. In that instant i forgot all bout my urge to puke or the aches in my back. heh. cliched but true. The view was just amazing.. rows and rows of them all around us. Big strong and raw. It felt like we were in the inside of some great dinosaur's jaw.
Funny how something beautiful and true can strike so suddenly and make misery forgotten. It might not be in the form of something big like the alps but in the form of simple gestures too. Like a friend calling to say you are missed, or another dropping by to visit while you're sick. Its everywhere, as long as you are open to it.
So, im stuck home my first wkend back. So much for plans to catch up. I feel like a pregnant man.. more like i sound like a man and feel pregnant. husky groggy and dizzy. still, im a pretty happy pregnant man. It feels good to stay home and sleep the wkend away for once.. much needed rest. i haven been taking care of myself properly of late.
i just watched polar express. such a nice chrismassy movie. too bad its still far away.. heh. oh well. all in good time..
One line stood out for me: Its not where the train is heading, but if you decide to get on it.
How true. Sometimes you need dreamy movies like this to teach you what you're forgotten.
