My Walk Club

Terri and I walked again at 5am and it was so nice and cool.  Sleepy little Edinburg was just beginning to stir.  The campground down on the creek had a tent half down but I suppose the people were still sleeping.  The ducks and geese congregate at night up stream by the mill,  so they won't be down by the campground till day breaks through.   The walk was nice and always I think about stuff.

Someone asked me last night what I really liked to do.  I can't say what my first choice was but meeting people was the second.  Introverts are not supposed to be that way so list me as a recovering introvert.

In meeting people there is joy and sadness.  In a trio of short stories I have begun, experiencing death is the subject.   Two of the stories Terri and I were there and the last one we knew the family.  All three spoke to a part of me, which I had ignored.  Death is not a warm and fuzzy, but it seems a time when we can give a gift to each other.  I might even describe death as beautiful.

Love, life and death can intersect is such a way, that we release each other with peace.   I believe people always remain a part of us, even when we don't see it.  It seems we are designed that way.

Hopefully I won't chase anyone off with these stories but I will post them one by one.

Keep walkin,

Ron

I am trying to do better at blogging.  Again!  So here goes.

This morning was a great walk.  The clouds were keeping the sunrise from heating everything up too quickly.  It was humid and misty by Stoney Creek but wonderful too.  The rain from yesterday has added a zip to the flora and fauna.   Even the female ducks were gathered together in Stoney Creek having their own hen party.  I guess the guys ticked them off!  lol

Anyway I also watched an interesting movie on netflix called "Up49".  It is a documentary about english school children in the 60's who they have been filming every 7 years till they are now 49.   The scary part is the kids pretty much said what they were going to do and did it.

I thought I was the only idiot savant of life but it looks like there is more where I came from.   Maybe we are designed this way, OMG!  There must be a god because we would be extinct by now.

It would be nice to be one of those people who embrace life with every fiber of their being rather than it feeling like a bucket of water (sometimes COLD) being thrown at you daily.  Not that I am complaining because my life is wonderful but being more courageous would be nice for a change.

Alas I digress.  The walk was great.  I met Mark and Noel along the way.  We walked several hills and that is my attempt at exercise and being more courageous.

Keep walkin and try a dollop of courage today!  lol
