Walking. And, for a moment, all is right with the world…
6:54 am. Weather app says 33° F. There’s no damn way it’s 33°. I shiver.
And, I walk.
1,347 consecutive (almost) days at Cove Island Park. Like in a row.
Our Swan family sleeps peacefully out in open water, a rare sight. The youngster is now fully grown, making it difficult to sort out who’s who.
I stand watching them, the pulse slows, this calm in the shadow of bombs dropping in Kyiv, in Gaza and in Yemen. And the warming planet offering a respite for the swans who don’t need to migrate south to find unfrozen bodies of water.
Non sequitur. Up and in flashes a segment of a CBS Sunday Morning interview with Jelly Roll, not the donut kind, but the rapper and singer. It’s a worthy segment, I urge you all to watch.
Jelly says “I have a very dark hallway between my ears.”
I look out at the swans.
Peace. And War.
War & Peace.
Notes:
6 geese a laying, 4 swans-a-?
6 geese-a-laying, 4 swans-a-flying. And one was our little cygnet all grown up and soaring.
Had I not been standing there, I would have bet background was A.I. generated – no A.I. this morning. Nature’s Magic. Sept 3, 2023. 6:49 a.m. 66° F. Cove Island Park, Stamford, CT.
More photos from this morning’s walk here including Sunrise & Wally on morning walk.
