We woke to all sorts of noise, among them the flow of traffic.
Resting by the lake after my few-mile run in the heat, I noticed all sorts of creatures: squirrels, rabbits and ducks.
As peaceful as could be, yet we don’t often say “I’ve got peace like a lake”. We say, “I ‘ve got peace like a river”.
River flows. Water moves. Ocean and tide. Moon and Mars. Can’t stay still. Thought flow, money flow from hand to hand.
New games got invented everyday. Skin rejuvenation, sex drive rejuvenation and self-reinvention. Press “reset”. Be kind and rewind.
Get to be old hats.
One birthday piles up on top of another.
Summer time.
Sabbatical.
Just lay low. Under the radar. Poor man’s vacation. But vacation nonetheless.
Dollar Stores are still doing well. Costco is expanding. And any kind of drinks is still sold for a buck at McDonald’s.
Money is changing hands, but not a lot .
Us, playing and making a living by being in the middle, got less, by the percentage.
Nokia shut down its offices at home. Industries see a lot of volatility and fluctuation.
Brands however endure especially in uncertain times: Ford, Coke and Costco. Sweet and more sweet as we got sweated.
Got to reward ourselves. Got to have that Gatorade, under the scorching sun. Can only stand in opportunities’ way that long. Not without taking a break . Jackson Brown says, ” opportunity likes to dance with those who were already on the dancing floor”. So swing and sway, but stay the course. Go with the flow of music. The tempo will change. It always does, even in the worst of times. Even now, things don’t stay static. It flows even when we are asleep.
