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."

Searching for peace of mind



      As much as possible, I have been attempting a media blackout since Monday.  It is so hard to fathom half of this nation supporting a sociopath.  I am so disappointed in them and am embarrassed by America.  The American flag is now a white supremacist flag. 



(Ex. update a.m. run with dog 4.4 miles, ytd run 1357.6 miles.  Plus walk 1 mile warm up/cool down, ytd walk 614.6 miles.  Run/walk total 1972.2 miles)
