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.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

"I feel the earth move under my feet."

     I think spring really has arrived.  It was a chilly, very windy Sunday, but today is wonderful.  Get out there everyone and feel the sun on your face, see the grass greening and shoots pushing their way out of the ground, hear the birds singing.  I did get out there and jog in the beautiful South Valley park nearby with our old Sadie-Dog.  I finished with 1/2 mile of slow barefoot jogging on concrete.  Am really trying to  slowly adapt to midfoot running.  I bought a pair of minimalist shoes yesterday....Merrell Pace Gloves....so far I am just wearing them around the house, but really like their lightness.  I like feeling the connection to the earth, feeling rooted to the planet.

"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."  Khalil Gibran
