According to Buddha
Be as careful as you can. Our minds are funny. Sometimes we are skeptical of things that are really worthwhile and completely accepting of things that we should avoid. Try to avoid extremes and follow the middle way, checking with wisdom wherever you go.
come on inside
takin’ that ride to nowhere
we’ll take that ride

Did you notice the rhythm in “chécking with wísdom wheréver you gó”?
No🤓is it a poem Steve? I think I made have missed the rhythm 🥺smiles hedy ☺️
That rhythm is called a dactyl:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dactyl_(poetry)
Well I didn’t know🤓🙏👣👣👣appreciated Steve💫
Dactyl comes from the Greek word for finger. Similar to the way a finger consists of one long bone followed by two shorter ones, a dactyl is made up of a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed ones.
It’s a lovely word Steve 🤓✨
Oh it breathes cold! so evocative… Happy new year, Hedy
Happy new year Penny so glad to move into 2022…hoping to get out to the coast more this year🤓💫enjoy your walks sending joy ~ hugs hedy🤗
I love these – you’ve so captured that eerie night-time lonely cold. Beautiful.

Happy New Year Hedy. May it bring all you could wish for.
