Walks

Walk 1: Had a lounging aspect. Lounging in the arboretum. Dead short grass, bare branches, trees split from the windstorm, and a tourist vehicle going by and some sounds coming from far off which changed around a lot. At first, the sounds were like a recording of "alu akbar," then something like the voice of a Kennedy (that accent!) giving a speech and mixed in were the words "ask not what your country can do for you...", then the old song "Tequila" (yes, really), then some kind of jazz sung by a black man and some trumpets. It wasn't what I expected to hear, especially not the second thing. I don't at all care for the idea of a single person who is currently running against the president to succeed. Not a bit. And I do not like the idea of this: Military given go-ahead to detain... one bit either.
Walk 2: Much more solitary. Nearer to mountains. There's a place that has a certain kind of a rock shape in the cliff; it looks like an angel. Mountains seem so interesting and different and yet the same among peoples and places and religions. They elicit peace of mind. How amazing how some mountains can pull you in. And also, kind of vaguely thinking about stars and maybe the goddess Diana, too.
