Day 5 - 72 -- Taking Flight

One of the longer days of the week left me feeling very fatigued. One class, several meetings, and a lab added to the yuckiness of the developing cold taking hold in my head. Many positive outcomes occurred during the day despite the yucky virus. <smile>  At the end of the day, I walked home just as the winds of the latest nor'easter began to increase. Leaving campus, I could see the sky filled with small groups of crows flying to their evening gathering. Tonight is was along the brook. The trees were filling with more compatriots as I walked by -- their vocalizations were so loud they nearly drowned out the traffic noise as I crossed the bridge. It seemed to be a happy gathering and seeing them flying on the wind made me smile. Now, the wind tried to get me to join the crew by trying to loft me and push me out of my planned path. It was a major effort that almost worked <smile>.

Pondering the walk home made me think of the power of friends getting together to talk about the day. The wind pushing me around could be irritating, but it made me think of moving in a different direction, Perhaps that is needed in my approach to certain activities and thought processes, while ensuring the move doesn't blow me into traffic. Interesting.

A song that fit some of these thoughts is by an iconic female singer. The lyrics note that we may need to stop fighting to be freer. Enjoy!
