Yin trying to balance Yang,,,

Laval


It is the end of a working day. I usually just do like all the others, and my car goes with the flow. This is the access to the ramp to the highway i normally take 5 days a week heading home. Everyday i want to stop and go in that small garden of rocks. There is something Zen about this concrete rock garden, difficult to explain. There is no parking place to go there, there is no real safe way to go there, nobody is supposed to be there... But that does not stop me. I want to just go touch the rocks and spend a moment, in the middle of early august urban orderly chaos. These pieces of mountain or canyons were once surrounded by god knows what. Now, they are witnesses of traffic, seasons and indifference. Yesterday, I stopped and walked near them. Touched them and sat for a little moment on them. I was amused and happy. The car drivers must have wondered what i was doing there... I just created another bubble of joy for myself and i love to collect those bubbles.
p.s. The little red dot on the second rock...is my little digital cam pouch lol, i had to leave a mark ;-).

You have the gift of feeling life in so many things... Im sure they enjoyed your presence there for the moment :)

I like the way you put it, wondering about where the rocks have come from and what they might have seen in the moutains or wherever. Maybe they watched a stream and life that went on around the stream. or they watched trees grow through changing seasons. if only they could talk.. now they watch a man made highway but for how long. The creations of man that seem permanent are in reality, temporary. This time watching traffic will be but a blip for these ancient stones.

Life is always about going through the rocks. Whether we got through it, turn left, turn right, there will always be two way traffic, just like the balance of the yin and the yang.

Merci Caudia, for bringing us into this ironic and alluring urban oasis of rugged nature. I keep coming back to it. I love the title the narative, and most of all the concept, which is both fun and inspiring...

Bravo that you took the time to explore this space that had "called to you." I understand the need to touch the rocks:http://www.pbase.com/listorama/image/63249506 . Keep collecting the bubbles!

Merci, so well written and nice to know that the designers of space were granted the ability to put this rock garden there. Perhaps with time as we become more enlightened to the possibilities of integrating our lives with aesthetics, this will happen more often. Thank you for this small visual diary. I think it is also so good that you chose to show the context wherein these rocks are located, this really helps get the message across.
