This morning waiting on the bus we saw huge trucks loaded with grit, gravel heading for the city. I know what they mean. I know only too well and broke down in tears. Sobbing away unable to see anything from my tears Tobi had to breath some life into me. I quickly grew weary of dancing, trying to avoid light, in appearance fluffy balls of fire under my feet in the dark misty morning. We got on the bus and mentioned no more of the incident.
I understand his reluctance to be miserable about the approaching winter. I felt just the same way a year ago. I was excited and ready to experience the big Nordic winter. I was all thirst and discarded warnings of any kind. Of course most of the warnings and good advices were no use. None mentioned about the unimaginable length of the season. Tobi is here to experience it and I should not take it away from him. I will try.
I realised that I am riding the bus so early, even before winter has come out of selfless motivation hoping to steal a friendly gesture, a smile, a nod, a look of notice into people’s lives. On the bike it has become impossible to maintain a smile and one should try, it will quickly turn into a menacing grin in -2 Celsius riding against the North Wind.
The bus is different. Homely and warm. And people are miserable because it is often crowded and outside cold… Tobi is organising smile squads for the buses. But we wont pay to participants bus passes.
