Cutting through the air on Christmas Day






I decided to take myself on a power walk Christmas day before dinner. I found myself cutting through the air, flying down the road as if I was projected by something more than my own body strength. I felt as though I had a propeller behind me, one that I imagine now would like like a large boat propeller or fan attached to my lower back sending me through space at lightening speeds. I imagined myself as swiftly sliding through the air, creating wind as I moved through space, pumping my arms in blissful rhythm. Finally finding what it means to power walk. All hail the power walking gods, I finally understand what it is to walk fast in a healthy fashion but not run. Thrilling.


In other news....

Rabbits. What amazing creatures they are. Dancing in the moonlight, hopping and skipping about with their floppy, long ears and always vibrating noses. The species fills me with a delight. I admit to living in a rabbit fantasy world on occasion. A place where these fluffy creatures hop about being their magical selves.

Rabbits are rarely considered magical by the general public, but fuzzy, cute creatures that defecate more than humans think is ever necessary. I count myself lucky not to have a track digestive system operated completely by the amount of food one has in the body. My, it would be terrible having to visit the loo every five minutes, thank goodness for peristalsis and involuntary muscle tissue.




Having said that, my new favorite film is Miss Potter. A film based on the life of the famous children's writer, Peter Cottontail and Benjamin Bunny. I highly suggest it for those who enjoy fanciful, charming flicks...for this film is wonderful indeed.

All hail Beatrix Potter and her fanciful children's books, I think they are delightful. I would be happy to join Jemima Puddleduck and Peter the Rabbit on an adventure any day.
