drowning in information but
starved for connection
you’re smart.
I’m smart.
and yet I feel stupid most days
as stuff
comes and goes
and comesandgoesandcomesandgoes
in one eyeball and out the other
seeking motion.
for an object in motion
stays in motion
unless met with an equal or opposing force, right,
Newton?
okay, then.
I raise you:
with precious novel in hand,
I read “one more chapter;” —
soul keeping the story-drive
going
and going…
into the wee hours,
droopy eyelids matter not;
where pages get dog-eared
and
sentences flagged —
my book looks like a literary windmill! —
thumbing backwards, forwards
to
what was
to
what will be.
I like following this path
where around each corner, the potential
to be
besotted with
curiosity and adventure
tops
the mindless
scroll

Welcome to random ramblings on a Sunday evening. 😊
Photo was taken by Andrew Sliben, and features our sweet little kitty and pooch, when all was right in their worlds. Wishing you well, wherever you may roam.
