One of the best things to me now is having a whim and suddenly, unexpectedly finding myself with the means and the time to do it. The time a gift to relish the moment. Saturday, coming home from a software testing workshop, it was so warm -- up to 40 today, which seems really warm in February, as winter considers ending. I wanted to be outside, wanted to take a walk. I went inside to ask my wife if she and our daughter would like to go for a walk, but they were out grocery shopping... So away I walked, sans a toddler to manage.
So warm today
40 is warm as winter begins to think it's done enough
Looking up at the beautiful clouds... staring, taking time
So quiet
So peaceful
Taking a walk
walking slowly, steadily
No rush, no hurry
Looking at the houses
Looking at the sky
A bird flying high above
Is it a sea gull?
Flying along steadily
So quiet
So peaceful
Walking slowly
Breathing deeply of the fresh, crisp air
Seeing the clouds
Breathing the clouds
Being the clouds
Paused, standing still
Eyes closed, sound of wind blowing
through a tree, dry leaves never fallen
So quiet
So peaceful
Wondering if deer can hide
in this small stand of trees
Probably, I thought, not really believing
Then a rustle!
and a white tail bouncing away!
Walking home
Breathing the good air
Mind relaxed
So quiet
So peaceful
