crimes of passion

you may or may not recall that a while back a dreamt about a llama. specifically about riding a llama on a long journey. i documented it on this weblog on january 20th of this year – exhibit A. that llama dream has popped into my head with regularity, especially since i keep seeing pictures of them in my reading material about peru. this morning at work, i thought of it again and decided that i wanted to know more about llamas, so i wikipediaed them – exhibit B. and this was the first thing i saw...
it's a llama overlooking machu picchu – where jill and i are going on our 4-day trek. i could have keeled over. i had no idea when i had that dream that llamas were indigenous to peru, nor did i have any plans to go there (if you recall back in january i was planning on going to scotland for 2 months). needless to say, i'm pretty flabbergasted. this just confirms to me that dreams are special, even when they seem ludicrous. llamas are my new favourite thing, and not only because the word starts with two L's.

i've been hearing a lot about the wind-turbines lately, and have noticed that i can see on my drive home from millhaven. i decided that i wanted to take a closer look, so i took the long way home, driving along the shore of lake ontario. i'm really fascinated by wind turbines. my mom thinks they're an eye sore, but i think they're incredible. they raise the sky. i fell in love with them when i was in PEI. i'm excited to have them here, there will be 84 when they're fully installed. very cool.

last sunday i sat on the limestone perimeter of st. andrew's church and read "oh the places you will go". i bought it for david for his birthday. he received it in the mail today and totally loved it. i'm so glad. he's at a very pivotal point in his life, and i feel i couldn't have written a better letter of encouragement if i'd tried. that dr seuss is a genius.

what's to come only fate can show.
