Was it you?
The marble-colored French bulldog is always happy to see me on my walks.
He comes running to me.
The pat on the head from me and the kiss from the dog for me.
Daddy, is it you?
In spirit.
I miss you and love you.
I know that you know that.

Have heart
Have soul
Be careful if you lose control
Be kind
Be caring
Be considerate
The world has changed and is changing
You can change it or stay with it
You can stay true to your beliefs
Take a road less traveled
Try a different journey
It is up to you

Several years ago a horrible cry came from the park.
A feral cat was killing a squirrel
Many people feed the cats so this made me incredibly sad
Yesterday I saw two squirrels in trees flicking their tails to signal danger or a problem
A white and gray cat was watching their every move on the trees
Ready to pounce or make her way to the tree
I stood there watching for a while hoping that the cat would leave
I hope next time I feed the squirrels that they are all safe and sound
I love animals and am involved in animal charities but this hurt my heart to view
This was survival of cruelty

Walking has become a healthy means to reframe and enjoy every day or start that way.
No music, no podcasts only nature's sounds and music
It's healthy.
It's calming.
For the last four years of battling diseases of those close to the heart and Dear Friends, pain, hurdles, and sorrow
It has become a great friend
It doesn't read my poetry
It doesn't promise to write book reviews that have yet to come to fruition
Walking for hope, and charitable causes and to see what the world can be
Walking for and with Hope
