a thousand delicate joys.
out for a family stroll

“walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things.
it is the one way of freedom.
if you go to a place on anything but your own feet
you are taken there too fast,
and miss a thousand delicate joys
that were waiting for you by the wayside. “
-elizabeth von arnim

questions.
came across this open door
when walking in the park
so many questions.

“your cadence is your music” – william shatner
on a walk in the beautiful early fall weather
taking in a bit of the world
listening to music
a man came up beside me to say
‘you have quite a cadence.’
something i’d never heard or considered
such a funny compliment
and happily noted.
—
“to brisk notes in cadence beating, glance their many-twinkling feet.”

pizza on the move.
crossed paths with a pizza out for a stroll
on a mission
headed for the river
pizza was sliced and ready
to float
to swim
to shoot the cascades
perfect conditions today for a pizza.

“the closest thing I use to beauty products is the grease on the pizza from John’s Pizzeria.”

sun.
(no explanation about the alien orb)
—
that moment when you are walking
‘here comes the sun’ clicks on
the sun returns
as it always eventually does
the universe in alignment.

falling all around.
beautiful walk in the rain today
discovering
a newly made waterfall
spring flowers in the mud
brilliant green moss
growing on the trees
in the quiet woods.
—
“the rain is falling all around,
it falls on field and tree,
Ii rains on the umbrellas here,
and on the ships at sea.”

distance.
on a long walk in the park each day
i see people and animals outside
staying a safe distance from each other
alone
alone together

they make the latitudes and longitudes.”
