The Move

Published by Derek under Personal on April 29, 2008

I spent the greater part of yesterday lugging bags and boxes down stairs to eventually take them to my new home in Dartmouth. And I spent the great part of today lugging those boxes back upstairs to my new apartment.

I am already in love with my new space. First off I have a desk! I haven’t had a desk since college and at that point in my life a desk meant another place to throw stuff. Secondly I am living in a space that is surrounded with nature. I am no longer in the city breathing car fumes as I ride my bike to work. I now live and breath in a space free of the sounds of the city. Thirdly I have built a strong enough bond with Natahan to share all this beauty with. We are here together making a life for one another and helping each other reach a greater potential.

I feel so comfortable here. I feel like I’ve been here forever. I start my first day of planting tomorrow and I can’t wait to get my hands dirty.

I am still sad to be out of “Little Rhodie” despite the cars and the noise, because I miss all the people and places I’ve grown to call home, especially Bonnie. I wish life only brought people closer together instead of apart. I wish the paths in life could be connected more easily, but it seems that the steps we take lead us astray to someday find each other once again.

Peace and Love

p.s. I am currently working on an arrangement for the Verdandi Male Chorus. It’s everything I could imagine my first paid arrangement to be. I’ll post it as soon as it’s done.
