Beautiful Morning, A Meditation All Of Its Own. A Walk Through A Farm, I Have Never Been Busier

I got an excellent and robust response to my first Rumination column; I’m psyched. The letters from the battered teachers touch me the most. They love children and want to help them learn; it is no longer possible for them to do that, and social media has become a big part of that. I used to do all of the morning chores myself; then, I did them with Maria. I can’t really do them any longer, so I take pictures of them.

And the truth is, I love that more than doing them. Where there is loss, there is gain. I have never been busier; I have never been happier. Now, we are off to the Cambridge Food Pantry to meet the truck coming in from Albany.

(Above, Zip is waiting for me. I was late; you can see it in his eyes. I’ve never had a cat who loves to hang out with me. He is figuring out the value of posing.)
