lazybones

The seven days, the seven hikes through the Laguna Lake open space….Friday I perceived myself as nothing more than a ragamuffin, ambling along, stopping again and again, maybe the 23rd time looking at the same scene this last week, seeing with new eyes. I’m a lazybones I kept thinking, every dragonfly presenting oodles more energy than me. And there’s no judgement. Ragamuffin lazybones. 

Saturday morning, like 4:15 or so, after meditation and while sipping coffee, a distinct and clear thought came to me regarding my week of walks here, and I scribbled it in the Pages notebook – “I would/will need to walk in the Laguna Lake open space 100 days in a row before it would/will open to me, and me to it.” Like, this last week of hiking has been remarkable and amazing, and yet, these seven days simply the first, soft puff of my breath blowing on a milkweed pod, if I’m lucky setting even one seed on its way. There’s so much more. So much more.

And there’s this. For a long time I’ve been receiving ‘warnings’ that support for Windows 10 will be ending mid-October, I oughta opt for the free Windows 11, and with my usual please don’t tell me what to do, I’ve ignored it. Probably a couple of years. And now here we are. — I’m telling you this because today I’m going to try that upgrade, and you know me, technical pre-schooler. The point being, if I disappear from your email inbox a while I’m likely personally okay. It’s just this stuff. And hopefully I can get it or call in a techie wizard friend from the Y now in my life.
