A problem with our wireless network has changed my blogging habits. I write quickly, post quickly, before I’ve timed out.  At least for now, I’m learning to live with intermittency, with stopping and starting, with that which cannot be controlled.

A valuable lessons to be reminded of from time to time.

My pace has been intermittent lately, too, as bursts of running punctuate my usual fast-walk cadence. I try for a steady pace but can’t help but respond to the music in my ears and the feel of my joints.

Even the weather has been singing this tune — blustery and cold one weekend, calm and warm the next.

Bedrock is necessary, that which is solid and predictable. But what gets us through the day is the lighter, looser loam on top.
