Friday muse
Quiet on the Beck side, and still. 59°F 79% Wind E 5mph. While we were sitting outside on 7H porch yesterday, the humidity was 22%, lower than in my memory and making a crisp spring evening. Sadly, in Longmont, Colorado where the osprey couple are minding the new eggs in their nest, it has been snowing and the weather is 10°F.
Sheltering in Place with nothing to do is not where I am these days. Reading books, two in final chapters and two more sitting here on the floor in my office/study/den, leaning against the chair my mother gave me, waiting to be opened, either for the first time or again. Lots of books are worth reading more than once.
Writing, contemplating life as nature delivers it and musing about what may or may not come next.
Checking world, national and local news online, singularly focused these days, isn't it. Fascinating to be living into, and hopefully through, what one might call a sea change in human society worldwide. Epiphanies, maybe we will learn and permanently benefit from. Whatever human life is like months or years on may show priorities different from yesterday. Today. Though we lightly anticipate it as New Normal, life may change astoundingly both for bad and for the good. We might realize that we are not in charge after all, even that Pogo was right, and not only learn, but do something about it.
In mind for breakfast: fried grouper sandwich & hot black coffee.
