Though afraid, these are safe
We are afraid of one another. We don’t even see we are afraid. Yet by nature we are soft and gentle and kind. It is safe to open ourselves to the people around us.

Squirrels are good mechanical engineers
Squirrels are good mechanical engineers. They know and understand the angles, operations and forces facing them. They can figure out how to overcome a slippery pole barely large enough for them to grasp, overcome gravity and climb to the bird feeder it holds. They can compute the wind speed and gusts and grab hold of the swaying feeder with one paw, hold on to the slippery pole with two others, and reach the fourth in to grab seed to munch. When startled, they know instantaneously where to leap and with what thrust to make their escape.

Why do I journal every day?
Why do I journal every day? I need this journaling to help me elicit insights, to probe and find new things that I assumed were not there. Surprisingly, exploring surprises. It keeps me asking questions. It keeps me lively.
