Mostly – I’ve noticed – for me, at least – the walking away seems to be slower – I am reluctant to miss something, to give up. I have pockets full of hopeful change, ready to spend, running my fingers through – golden to the touch, steady at the ready. The turning toward is swift, instant. I answer the call with my heart on my face and in my tongue – step onto the bus toward yesplease and now – let us pray for the hunters and balanced memory.
