Sometimes things will trudge,
and what to do but proceed?
Better slow than stopped.
Our home is taking shape, but at a slower pace than I want it to. A testament to the busy business of day-to-day life, it refuses to spring into a whole, leaving me feeling at the end of the weekend that I’ve gotten little done. And I have yet to catch up on the blogosphere. L’chaim!
Rob's Surf Report 
Very well said Rob…stopping means death…we can take a breath and walk slow rather than giving up by getting tired. Love it.
Good good. 🙂
I love this haiku. It makes me think of these lines from Hopkin’s “The Windhover” — “Sheer plod makes plough down sillion shine.” http://www.bartleby.com/122/12.html
I also love the photo. Nothing more beautiful to me than high mountains, snow and an open horizon. Sigh.
Rob, I just wanted to tell you, speaking from the position of a writer, that this one is so true.
Creative thoughts crammed
into the bus of my brain
Who will get out first?
Look how you inspire me, Rob.
I’m flattered, Cimmy! Conversely I read that just now and imagined my brain as a bus . . . the doors folded open and clowns started falling out all over the place; everything was squeaking noses and floppy feet!
What a mental picture! My thought was that the bus inhabitants didn’t want to come out, that they were all waiting for someone else to go out first. I like your idea better. It’s so much more fun.
Actually when you put it that way it makes a lot more sense!
I felt like that on my 16 miles walk today. 🙂
Are you walking that trail you mentioned before? Which one is that again?
I am training now to walk the Natchez Trace, one of the oldest thoroughfares in North America. It is a 10,000 year old road. I start March 1. 15 miles a day.
That’s right, I kept thinking “trail of tears”, followed by “that’s not it, don’t say it!”
I just Googled it. Is it the parkway where part of it is under construction near Tupelo MS?
Yep. I will be walking the parkway, but it follows the ancient road pretty closely.
It looks pretty nice. 🙂
Either way, I’m jealous. It sounds like a bit of an adventure!
