Returning to New Habits

Wednesday: morning walk, L route (rowdy-circle-circle-rowdy), with Cleo

“It is no use walking anywhere to preach, unless our preaching be our walking.” --- St. Francis of Assisi


Thursday: morning walk, L route, with Cleo; nice conversation with neighbors at end


A bag of stuffed toys,

a computer monitor,

and tall sunflowers.


“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit.” --- Aristotle


Friday: wanted to walk the L route to see the sunflowers after last night’s rain, but Cleo was too excited about a stray dog in the neighborhood; walled the small square route (trent-singleton-brandon-rowdy) with variation (pena-santo-keyes, which adds ten minutes)


Rain has cooled the earth

overnight

and even the ordered flowers

stand bright at attention.

Dark clouds hang

overhead

but the sun is coming.

Has come.


“We are witnessing the Internet going mobile. Remember that the faster that information travels, the faster that misinformation can travel.” --- David Kirk
