Very Low Tide

Today the clouds were what captured my attention. When I was there yesterday (with many fewer people out), a groundhog/woodchuck ran across the path about 10 feet in front of me. I was too captivated by the unexpected encounter that I did not even try to take a picture.

Under the busy
Overpass, it felt as if I’d
Entered a cathedral.

I am ok and grateful for my well-being. I am also, among other things, grieving the death of two different friends in the last month and the remaining dregs of democracy. I could be more ok than the ok that I am. Some people aren’t ok at all. How are you?

I knew that it was going to be a busy and possibly stressful day. After sitting for meditation, I got myself out for a decent walk.

There is also another one on the south side of the footbridge to Heritage Island, as I have noticed before. Do they ever switch locations?

Down by the river
I met a crane enjoying
An early dinner.

Down by the river,
I was blessed to see two hawks
Soaring on the winds.
