shifting between

vacations are great.
mornings are slower. the sun sets later and with more colours. birds sing louder. drives seem longer and destinations are worth the journey. people are friendlier and more smiles are genuine.

vacations are great.
you kiss in public ... more. you hold hands and swing when you walk. you do new things with old friends. you laugh louder.

vacations are great.
you only check one email... once a week. you only turn on the phone to find out the time because you don't wear a watch. you miss breakfast but find a plate saved just for you.

vacations are great.
i want to feel like i am on vacation when i get back. i want to remember the things i forgot. i want to hold on to the mentality that lets me know i'm alive, not just existing. i want to do the everyday without the mundane. i want to feel and experience, not just be there.

vacations are great.
you don't use the shift key.

Which came first...

Ask any scientist, bookie, logistician or crackhead... actuality always transcends probability. Ergo, the chicken (actuality) came before the egg (probability).

It can truly be said that art imitates life. There undeniably exists a basis for any given inspiration. But inspiration in of itself cannot create action, only the motivation for said possible action(s). One depends on the other. Of course, once any action has been initiated, the cycle between thought and deed can be eternal, eventually making the origin difficult to decipher.

But believe me, art imitates life.
