Walk slowly, and bow often. Monday, January 16, 2012. Beautiful poem du jour. 8216;Starlings in Winter’. Chunky and noisy,. But with stars in their black feathers,. They spring from the telephone wire. In the freezing wind. And now, in the theater of air,. They swing over buildings,. Dipping and rising;. They float like one stippled star. Becomes for a moment fragmented,. Then closes again;. But you simply can’t imagine. How they do it. With no articulated instruction, no pause,. Over and over again,.

Walk slowly, and bow often. Sunday, October 13, 2013. Welcomed to Arizona: First impressions of an urban desert landscape. After four weeks adjusting to a new job, this is my second weekend to pause and take in all the changes. It's good to move from the All-But-Dissertation graduate style rhythm of entirely self-directed work to an environment where work time and off time are more clearly delineated. I can't remember the last time a weekend felt so well deserved. Getting oriented to my new role directin...

Walk slowly, and bow often. Monday, April 22, 2013. You must cautiously select. A campsite or roadside motel. Peel your own orange. Open your water bottle. Laugh at yourself when the wind blows coffee. All over the roof of your car. There is no one to share. The joy of spring green rolling Ozarks. Photograph Missouri's roadwork-warning scarecrows. Crafted creatively from safety cones. And other assorted orange, yellow and reflective items. Or join the occasional purple fields in brightening.

http://habarizaryn.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Walk slowly, and bow often. Wednesday, December 7, 2011. From one decade to another. You were a decade filled with opportunities, for which I am grateful. Never did I anticipate living in Minnesota or Rwanda, two places that I now count as homes. Moving from place to place and transitioning from new to familiar has not been easy, but the experience has taught me patience and trust. I've also learned to be gracious with myself and to remember:. Welcome, thirties. I'm ready to live you well. The title mean...
