Extreme Places<\/span>


Sometimes when I'm stuck, I will crave a change in the<\/span> weather, the more dramatic the better. High winds, torrential<\/span> downpours, floods, tornadoes … wait, take that back, no tornadoes<\/span> or flood. More Sunshine, heat wave, humidity and so on. Or a<\/span> change of scenery, either via the natural progression of seasons<\/span> or physical transport elsewhere. Anything to help stave off autopilot<\/span> and keep moving in some perceived direction.<\/span>

The thing about other places, though, you have to change your<\/span> mind to suit your new surroundings. In some sunlit desert<\/span> landscape you move to avoid the heat of day, your activities are<\/span> governed by how long you last between glasses of water, and where<\/span> do you find those glasses?<\/span>

In some cold, wet northern coastal terrain the air begins to<\/span> erode you down. The moisture from the sky, more often than not,<\/span> it seems. You see trees bent over from forces of wind or driven<\/span> rain. Not a great time to take a walk in the park. Though, out of<\/span> the black and blue there comes a crazed Wind Surfer to show<\/span> us how to ride the weather, no sweat. Its too cold to sweat.<\/span> Who's complaining?<\/span>
