Deep thinking Nelson

On Monday, over pizza in a restaurant called Stefano's, we made a list. It's not necessarily a bucket list--- I mean it is but, it's little more personal than that I feel.

The list shows how different LP and I are, down to our toes. It's written out in my notebook so you know it's completely legitimate.

The picture of the list is below, and for safety and otherwise personal reasons I didn't want to type it out legibly.

After our pizza we walked up the hill to Kiwi style catholic cathedral, which isn't too different than American style cathedrals. The stain glass was gorgeous, the organ was gigantic, but what struck me the most and what might stick with me the most was the labyrinth painted on the floor.

Labyrinths are like mazes, with the exception that there are no dead ends, perfect for...spiritual thinking or reflection. I'm not especially religious, but this labyrinth I feel like I can relate to....

On the plaque before the labyrinth read the words:

Walking into the Answer.
At the threshold of the labyrinth, embrace the words;
"This is my opportunity"
Ask yourself:
"Do I have the courage to move on?"

I thought back to my freshly written list in
my notebook and repeated those words in my head over and over.

Katie, this is your opportunity.

Of course I have the damn courage, it ain't going no where.
