My New Look
Very intentionally,
I walk along the driveway.
The short walk is usually
To the mail box or to retreve
The garbage container.
Intentionally, I have changed
my outlook because some
months ago I simply walked
with my head down,
unconcerned about what
might be of interest around me.
Early one morning while looking down,
a black dog suddenly walked up next to me.
I was startled by him, but quickly realized
that he was harmless. I had nothing to fear.
But the encounter completely altered my walk.
Presently, as I walk, I look all around,
out, up, and away. There is so much more
to see, and so much less to be startled by.
