Going flying, perhaps down to Paso Robles for lunch if it can warm up.

Otherwise WFH.... What about you?

Got an inspiring quote for the day, Oneironaut?

Not a quote. More like a prayer.

A Navajo Prayer was recently shared with me. It made my day a little brighter and my steps a little lighter.

Now. I am sharing it with you.

It's funny:

I always thought if I made it into my sixties, the negative memories would fade away, if for no other reason than an assumed accrual of wisdom. Alas, it hasn't been so. Things like Donner's Najaho prayer are helpful.

The Navajo prayer is a chant for the restoration of hozho, often rendered as "beauty" or "completion" and "balance."
