Some Bobolink
“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.”
3 Jan 2024 Bobolink Trail S and D met at the Bobolink Trail for a weekly walk through the dry and brittle marsh. It was late afternoon, and although the days are slightly longer, there was just enough time for a short wander before sunset.
Herds of joggers galavanted past, all with very serious “New Year’s Resolution” expressions. Meanwhile our intrepid explorers made no specific resolutions, nor discussed them; only thus:
Continue walking here and there;
Scowl and guffaw now and then;
Note but tolerate the presence of harridans, harriers, and harpies;
Collect a few more homophones.
The sun slipped behind the hills, and a klatch of coyotes, camouflaged in the tall dry grass, commenced a chorus about their resolutions. One might surmise the following:
Walk softly and carry a big stick.
Eat more fiber.
Listen twice, speak once.
Leave no trace.
Not much else to report. A cyclist or two. Some dog walkers. And another successful BNO.
