the uncertainty, the never knowing, stands out for me, Bob; the bicycle-blue dusk is a wonderful image and certainly worth running away with/ eloping 🙂

I like everything about this and how it all feels on a whim.

What an amazing and appropriate title!….those last four lines reminds of this guy who always wears an orange ski jacket (doesn’t matter what season) and I see him in various spots in my neighborhood and unlike most people, he’s not in a hurry; he is standing there staring at the scene and maybe reading the wind for a little telepathy action and he comes back for more day after day so it seems like just might be married to the wind. Great job on this Bob.

The guy in the orange ski jacket seems like my sort of guy. Married to the wind…that’s perfect. Thanks, Steve. I see the Brewers are still leading their division.

I forget to reply about the Brewers. Yes, holding onto first place, but lost Yelich due to a back problem and aren’t sure when he’s returning. He was a big part of the offense. Either way, always nice to be part of the playoff picture.

I’m rooting for them. That is a nice feeling, being part of the playoffs.

Sorry I missed this one, Bob. Haven’t had my glasses nearby my bed (still recovering from the ‘flu) and reading my computer screen has got harder and harder. I read this one once and didn’t fall into it and then I read it again and felt much more moved by it. And then I read Steve’s comment and then read it again. It’s addictive. It’s a circling, a wondering, and a wishing. Really lovely.
