MORNING WALK (Caminata Matutina)


(photo:  mine, jacaranda tree and assorted shrubs)

Buenas dias!

(I mean you no harm)

-        buenos dias!

(nor I you)

In our broken
seven billion

intentional harm
is less frequent
than you’d expect

wars
famine
plague

are not normal

everything alive
would like to survive

we are
the many
perhaps the most
of us

held

within the arms
of our better angels


Cuidado

     (be careful)

y no tengas miedo

     (and have no fear)


Buenos días…

-        buenos días.

(It is striking how many strangers, when passing one another on the narrow sidewalks of Guanajuato, greet one another.  Usually, though not always, with a smile, sometimes with surprise.  If you offer a greeting, it's returned.)
