“it’s summer and time for wandering…” ― kellie elmore
you never know
what beauties
you’ll
cross paths with
while wandering
on a warm summer’s day

winning is habit. unfortunately, so is losing. – vince lombardi
it’s been a week filled with
lots of ‘lost’
and
some measure of ‘found’
lose one
find one
lose another
find something i wasn’t looking for
and didn’t know i was missing
and so it goes
glasses
cell phone
laptop
backup glasses
one earring
one shoe
retracing steps
using the sesame street approach
blending the good news with the bad
searching
crossing fingers
voodoo chanting
all leading to
mixed results
and
an
acceptance
of this past time
as my way of life
happy
that at least i know
where my teeth are.
for now.

nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. – ralph waldo emerson
met this group of young entrepreneurs
while walking back
from the downtown art fair
found them
just on the perimeter
in a safe zone
for guerilla marketing
and a cash business
in a bright spot
future lemonade magnates
with
a plan
a happy disposition
and
a wagon-load
full
of quiet enthusiasm
they had made sixty dollars
on the day before
while
rotating jobs
one sign-holder
three salesmen
at street level
offering up cool cups
of
sweet relief
to all who wandered by
with shy smiles
and a price you couldn’t refuse.

great art picks up where nature ends. ~ marc chagall
the artist’s world is limitless.
it can be found anywhere,
far from where he lives or a few feet away.
it is always on his doorstep.
~paul strand

slow pace, long weekend away.
rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day,
listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky,
is by no means waste of time.
~john lubbock, “Recreation,” The Use of Life, 1894
