Keeping on

A walk through a lovely park today with a good friend prepared me for this -- a question posed by another friend on Facebook: "what gets you up in the morning, keeps you going, and gives you hope?"
Well, first off, there is necessity. Failing to keep on keeping on is not an available choice.

And then, once the creaking joints and the befuddled sleeping mind begin to stir, there's all that's out there. Other people who are their own unique people; the lively city; in some of the best moments, the wonder of trails and hills.

And above all, the solidarity of people struggling together for justice. A mere smidgen of that energy released in a hurting world can go a very long way.

And, of course, the E.P.
