Summer! Not the easiest running with the heat, but it’s beautiful by the gorge. Greeted Dave, the Daily Walker and he wished me a happy birthday again!
10 Things
- a coxswain’s voice below me
- a very loud bird across the road, trilling not screaming
- a sea and sky of green in the tunnel of trees
- a woman walking down the center of the path, gesturing to herself
- the two big cracks on the stretch of path just north of the trestle have been filled in with dirt
- orange cones and orange spray paint surround the cracks to warn pedestrians
- looking through a gap in the trees, seeing the air above the gorge, feeling so open and peaceful
- an orange day lily on the edge of the trail
- empty benches
- the sliding bench looks like it has slid more
I stopped to take a few pictures of the bench:
During the run and after, I recited AO’s lines from Nobody about the microscopic insects in the eye who speak Greek. Such a great poem! And such a great poem to memorize!
