Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

by my favorite poet, Mary Oliver

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

“Take a primitive organism, say a freshman. Make it lift, or jump or run. Let it rest. What happens? A little miracle. It gets a little better. It gets a little stronger or faster or more enduring. That’s all training is. Stress. Recover. Improve. You’d think any damn fool could do it. But you don’t. You work too hard and rest too little and get hurt.” —Coach Bill Bowerman in Bowerman and the Men of Oregon

      I'm a primitive organism, and last week was a rest week.  I'm still waiting for the little miracle!

(daily ex, walked 2 miles, ytd walk 396.2 miles.  tm run 6.2 miles, ytd run 627.4 miles)
