getting older in Lido Park
On Wednesday on the way from the swimming pool to the Lido Market, I went to the park.
Usually I am not in such a mode and if I have some time I would go back home to the computer, but Wednesday was something special , the snow and special light made Beijing look like Paris .
The snow is something that is easy to imagine but the light was really something unusual here , we don't have this kind of light in Beijing often, it was very pale one ,a much softer version of the usuall, a feeling of a long twilight in the afternoon.
Even the "soundtrack" of the day was different , maybe it is because of the light or because of the snow that kept people back home, but it was much different than the sound of an aerage afternoon in Beijing.
Lido Park was almost empty when I sat on a bench ,I was staring on the lake breathing the icy air with almost absolute silence around.
Suddenly it came to my head that I am getting so old, not because I am 37 in 2 weeks , but because it is so hard for me to feel like before. Just 10 years ago a similar day in this park will blow my mind, I would feel excited and ideas will fly in my head, imaging things ,making plans for the future, flying a way ....
Now it is so different I am so much unmoved by things happening around me and places and people I see .
I miss being a child ,a young boy that wss so excited from everty little thing.
