Sideways at the end

So I'm doing my Milestone. Actually, I'm doing the map of my Milestone, things to include. Lots of good stuff. Concrete, as wild and ordered as the petals of an orchid.

The most sideways realization came at the very end, sitting outside in Nature.

I suddenly realized -- the way I once realized I was kinesthetic -- that I need to be out in Nature. It is not optional, it is where my thinking functions best.

Time to eat. Fried chicken, vegies, potato salad. My roof is leaking again along that seam; recaulk tomorrow. Two loads of laundry to wash. Do the dishes. Get the bicycle out of the guest room.

Such days are like polishing an oak table; deeper gold comes after years.
