Moss Between Toes
I’ve been strapped to a chair since Friday. The NCAA Basketball Tournament has grabbed me firmly by the throat and sucked my attention dry. I feel a little like a Fall leaf fallen from a Maple; brown - parched - brittle. So I decided to step outside for a moment, during halftime of course.
My God, the power of nature. I immediately felt lighter, more buoyant. Flowers will stretch towards the sun and open themselves up to its nourishment. I felt a little like this - felt an invigorating spirit pour into my being. Squishing moss between my toes - checking on the blueberry bushes - listening to the discordant chorus of the birds - Nature has a way of welcoming you home, has a way of re-calibrating your fragile equilibrium.
That would be my advice. Go outside. Find a spot where Nature surrounds you - four walls of sun, trees and wind - and be there for a moment. Simply be there for a moment and then go your way. That would be my advice.
Hey! help me out! I found you by typing in Weren’t you picking your toes in Poughkeepsie,. I’m trying to advise a grandma who discovered she had a second
grandchild 14 years late (her son abandoned the mother who was pregnant).
I’m trying to teach her distraction as a technique. I can visualize the scene in the
movie, and the actor, was Gene Hackman?
do you know? Tell me if you do.

I think this is the wierdest Q I ever asked on line… Yay!
Sure thing George, it’s from The French Connection, and it was indeed Gene Hackman. This is perhaps the best question anyone’s ever ask me through this blog so feel proud, and thanks for taking the time to ask.
