I-Pleur

That's French for I cry.
Why?
Because I left my i-pod on the plane yesterday and let's be honest, it's not coming back.
After spending the weekend in Calgary pondering why we need so much stuff in our lives, why everybody thinks they need more and all the waste and trash that creates, why people in the Western world "need" so much more than anyone else, and why we are so disconnected from the rest of the world .
I decided I am going to stop being such a consumer- to stop buying so much junk.
And now that my i-pod is gone, and I won't be able to buy one again right away, I am going to have to plug back in to the world of eavesdropping, of getting to know my (transit) neighbor, and of literally living with less stuff.
Be careful what you wish for....
