Tuesday morning, hanging around waiting for the hospital shuttle

Porsche 944

My favorite car. This one belongs to the people living next door to Anna on Stanford. I always wanted one, but Elizabeth "Bootsy" Hutchinson put me off with the reality; she told me I could never afford one unless I was married to a mechanic like she was, because they require lots of maintenance and tinkering to run well. She had a gold 944.

Amazing Sky

Driving back from Albuquerque this afternoon, I nearly left the road mesmerized by looking up.

the owl I saw

 

 

when I was on the way to a delicious brunch at the Sierra del Rio (I think that's the name). The owl looks like it already had lunch.

People's paths come together all too briefly when sharing friendship, but that makes those times no less valuable. We must take advantage of support and sharing in a mutually beneficial way. Whenever we take from another, we should try to give back something. This is fundamental. No one should lean on another person, or expect another to carry them a long distance down the road. Friends should walk side by side for as long as their journey carries them, without becoming dependent on one another.

There should be no obligation. If I can help someone do something,then I should do so without any hesitation or expectation of reward or debt. If there is something that I need to learn and my companion can show it to me, then I should accept it in humility.

Parting is inherent in all meeting. Nothing lasts forever.Transience is what gives life poignancy. Every person is responsible for himself or herself. There is no road to walk but your own.

Bare trees at Sand Creek

*Farewell*

We part at the crossroads,

You leave with your joys and problems,I with mine.

Alone, I look down the road.

Each one must walk one's own path.
