Found Exhortation(s)


I appreciate my walks to and from work; every one brings some delight. There’s a very friendly dog who’s often out when I walk past his house, and he wanted a good petting this evening. When I was almost home, I spied another four-legged neighbor.

The first question I ask myself just about every day, is how my life contributes to the causes of war and environmental harm. The the second question is what am I going to do to minimize the harm I have already caused and, by virtue of being a middle class US citizen and taxpayer with a 401(k) plan, will continue to cause as long as I remain alive?
