today I took a walk around the block
having no real reason just taking stock
i was able to get an up close and personal stare
while using a walking meditation to take in more air
there was new growth, birds talking, stalwarts that were hardened
roses and weeds making a comeback as if they had been pardoned
fences, neighbors, dogs, alleys, early morning breakfast smells
bacon, chops, sausage, eggs, onion for sure, and other worlds gently meld
trees breathing in abundance, rocks holding down the corner
cerulean blue and spotty cotton puff clouds gave just enough cover
one step led to another
every encounter invited me further
my opening plan was a refreshing walk
it was that and more
including a nature talk ~
