Reliability's calm
Dandelion flower, Wheeler High track
The election has come, the election has gone... and as of right now, we don't yet have a clear idea of who our next president will be, or if, to quote Gerald Ford in the wake of Richard Nixon's resignation, "Our long national nightmare is over." Sorry to be partisan here, but as an environmentalist, there's only one way to view this: Trump has been that nightmare, and I'm hoping and praying that The Don's era will soon be coming to an end. While I keep my fingers crossed, I keep walking, both to keep my spirits and my repaired heart strong. The routine is calming. So is finding that the natural world continues on its own steady pace, with dandelions coming into sunny bloom right at their appointed time.
