Everything packed that I can pack, sitting around waiting for moving day. All has to wait until Friday, at which time it will then be rush, rush and pick up Zakiah the next day, for 5 days.

my 3-mi. walks
July 12, 2009I will miss my 3-mi. walks in the late evening, at this house. The walk goes to the end of a dead-end street. The smell of pines is heavenly. There are other fragrant flowers that look like white lilacs, along the way. We sometimes see deer. I saw 2 very large, soaring hawks the other night. They circled and landed among the telephone pole wires, then let out a piercing hawk call. It is just very peaceful, especially as the sun goes down, cicadas loudly singing. It takes me about 40 mins.
Walls
July 10, 2009Man is
a great wall builder
the Berlin Wall
the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem
but the wall most impregnable
has a moat, flowing with fright,
around his heart
a wall without windows
for the spirit to breeze through
a wall without a door
for Love to walk in.
–Oswald Mtshali, Soweto poet
