Why do you do what you do?

My friend Howard asked himself this question and answerred it with the word love. Not that he loves everything about life, but that he loves life and everything in it. There is a difference.

There are days when I think how can I go through another day as boring, hectic, loud, tiring or as frustrating as today. Then I go for a walk.

I've begun to take a slow walk on our street in the evening instead of watching TV. The trees tower, the birds sing their night songs and on a lucky night deer walk across my path or the rabbits scurry into the bushes.

I am honored to have found this ritual. This chance to love life and everything in it.
