Ruminations from my walk

I’ve long adored my walks. A magnificent way to get exercise and explore a community. Walking today in this place I’ve spent most of my life had deeper meaning than most. I reflected on my friends, on several issues I care deeply about, and on how this area is both the same yet different.

Also, I listened to the birds, looking at the flowers. I considered communication. How much information is being transferred. Dangers, sexual availability, food presence, territorial marking, all that and more, in these pretty sights and sounds floating across the air. Simultaneously. Really, when considered in this context, a late spring day is laden with data.

Such are the things that concern my mind. I hope each of you had an equally enjoyable day.
