On the trail.................... "certain" that I've slowed down, wondering about the present

Today is a good today to live "today" and to concentrate on the "present".................. The day started out with a 4 1/2 mile run. I left the Ipod turned off and concentrated on "nothing" in particular. Then after a nice lunch and some time of the phone we went to a trail on the Sandia Crest and when up the mountain maybe a half mile or more. The picture looking back down is not from my camera but it is a lot like what we saw and it is pretty close to where we were.

I suppose the lessons to be learned from the events of the day are significant. No specific lesson to be learned form the "nice dirt tree lined trail" however. No chance to run that trail today.

will come around and catch you."

the smallest impulse directs it to either side."
