Yesterday the ice covered by snow and what
was visible made for verrrrrry cautious walking.
There was no discussion at the breakfast
table about global warming. There was no discussion at the breakfast table (at
least when I was there) about how the weather should adapt to our needs and our
wants. None whatsoever
.
Prior to our walk yesterday, two of our
members drew maps in the snow pointing to a location related to the charity walk
they were in that evening. The walk was for the homeless called the Coldest
Night of the Year.
This is the particular quirk about our
group. We learn what to do at our own individual paces and then we
individually, act on it. So it was of no surprise whatsoever that some member
after walking with the group (by the way 16 people turned out) saw the ice
conditions and lowered their distance and no surprise whatsoever that others
after doing one round went for a second round.
I have no doubt that this morning in the
snow there are those expanding on yesterday’s distance. I have no doubt that
this morning other of us, beverage in hand, are looking at the snow falling
knowing that some of us are out there walking. I have no doubt that this
morning someone is writing up for the blog an entry about the charity event for
the homeless that was walked last night.
So snow, ice, I say this: Do your best, but you will not
keep us down because we walk the talk and talk the walk.
