Mama Says Om: Blue

30 March 2006

Blue is the colour of my new rucksack. I have to learn how to pack lightly for the Galapagos trip. 12 days. Me, the one who relentlessly scours the house looking for more things to cram into my luggage “just in case”.

Blue is how I imagine the sea on which our boat will float. I’ve never slept on a boat before and I wonder what life on board will be like.

And blue is the colour of the little bird feet that will fearlessly approach us as we explore. I need to read my guide book, yet I’m torn between wanting to be prepared, but not wanting to be able to second-guess what’s around every corner.

Just 2 months to go.
Oh my.
