At the gym…A stranger, “Barbara” , takes the rowing machine next to me explaining that she will spend 10 minutes to complete her circuit. A few questions and a listening ear saw her staying for 20 minutes. She was surprised and appreciative.
She talked about weight loss, travel, friends… and when I asked how she was using the skills and capacities she’d developed in her career she talked about life changes, breaking out of NWFLD expectations, engaging a street person and her desire to help others in new ways.

At a Speech Arts performance a girl shared Mary Oliver’s poem “Mindful”
Here’s its opening:
Every day

to lose myself
inside this soft world –
to instruct myself
