September 12: The Truth Is, I'm Bored

Tuesday, September 12, 2006

​It feels good to sit in the loft and play flute for the few people who wander into the lodge. I’ve been working on playing how I want to play and not paying attention to the people around or what they might be thinking. I’m getting better at it.

I found a website with all the Tae Kwon Do forms. It helps a lot, except when the print is too small to read and I can’t remember what the move is supposed to be. I’ve been trying to practice some part of TKD for a few minutes each day.

I waded in the warm shallows and collected some snail shells. The big shells all had occupants. These snails are mostly 1-1.5 inches long, but some are 2 inches. The shells I found are no bigger than my little fingernail. I also saw small crabs that look like leaf insects. You can see no legs, only two front pinchers that look like wings until you get close. There were also small, brown fish.
