Dogs barking in the night.
I am weary before I get back on the road today.
I know how to walk: one foot before the other.
To drive, it just takes gas, and a foot on the pedal...
I opened a book last night--an autobiography by Sidney Poitier. The man has such a rich perspective. I was surprised to land on a reference to the Harry Harlow experiments (he thought the subjects were chimps too) and his take: that we must be careful modern life does not become the wire monkey. That we do not turn our bountiful planet into a wire mother.

He also made a statement that he feels balanced and at peace when he trusts his quiet inner voice, but rarely so when he lets himself get out of touch.

Ah--he put it so much better...it's time for me to go!
