Leaves

For all the great thoughts I have read
For all the deep books I have studied
None has brought me near to spirit
Than a walk beneath shimmering leaves.

Steven Charleston, Spirit Wheel

My walks over the past few days have been cooler and wet. The much needed moisture and a break from the heat is welcomed. I love walking in nature especially when green leaves are covered in dew from the mist. I was awakened during the night as thunder shook my room and rain tapped on my windows. I did not sleep well after that. This morning has been sunny but more storms later this afternoon. I also got in a nice bicycle ride while the weather was good. I will attend a friends retirement party this afternoon and probably overeat, again. Suspect a nap after that!! Enjoy your weekend!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    It sounds like a plan for a good day to me, Monte. As for perhaps overeating, what’s the use of possibly living longer if you must give up all the occasional pleasures that make it worthwhile? I hope you have a good week, my friend!
