a fine and glorious day

I set out around noon with the temperature at 34 degrees.

Bought a fruit salad and ate it in the park, lingering, now and then, to baste in the warm sun and digest the many images of light and shadow painting the landscape.

Then a wonderful walk to 23rd St. to the pool, through Stuyvesant Town, the fountain, hills with children snowboarding, along paths and roads bordered and covered with snow.

What a fine and glorious day.

A Statement to the World :)

I care about communication and understanding,

I care about engaging and understanding the world in all its myriad manifestations and disguises,

I care about how I'm treated and how I treat others,

I care about taking responsibility for .... and expressing authentically my feelings and thoughts.

If you see or feel something that is impeding these intentions, then please, by all means, let me know.

Otherwise, stick a sock in it.

a take upon things

"I" is often the problem, not the solution.

carpe diem

Engage !

Inquire !

Create !

Decide !

Short respite in Tompkins Sq.

Sure was great to go out into the sun and the 55 degree weather.

I've been inside nursing a cough - cold - flu. Napping often and not feeling well.

So I got out for an hour or so and sat in the park ... relaxed ... read ("Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl) ... imbibed the clear air and nature's beauty.

It's always fun hangin' out and encountering whatever and whoever enters my sphere.

I met an Argentine mother with her new daughter. Her husband is French and hopefully her daughter will speak 3 languages right from the get go.

Earlier a somewhat grungy and punk lookin' couple sat near with their two children talking Polish.

Their daughter, about 6, was standing nearby and interacting with their discussion. Sometimes in Polish .... sometimes in English. Without pause or care. Perfectly natural .... a wonderful way to grow up in a multilingual family and neighborhood.

and so it goes ...
