Walker’s Responses
If I didn’t get to the outside for that daily walk, I would
feel utter cabin fever. In a prison. So, while the sun is at optimum power, I
feel I must burst out the door.
I observed interesting behaviour from fellow pedestrians.
Well, some are really kind and offer a greeting of some kind, others are, IMHO
(in my humble opinion), a bit over the top with caution. For instance, at one
point when Corrado and I were moving on foot on the sidewalk, the oncoming
pedestrian left the sidewalk to take to the middle of the street. Actually, it
happened more than once, and after we passed each other they would get back on
the sidewalk; and this was even at times when Corrado and I moved in single
file to make room. I guess, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Colorado left and split from our walk to tend to more
devotions at the temple. I went on solo. In another instance, I was on the
sidewalk proceeding ahead, when a group of three adults decided that the
accommodating space I made wasn’t quite good enough for keeping to that grid.
They stepped off and trekked over someone’s front yard grass.
People are keeping to that social distancing and taking it
very seriously in response to the growing number of COVID-19 victims. It really
was an uncomfortable sensation, but then I understand where people were coming
from.
What I thought to be a real blooper was an attempt at
streaming a Facebook event after my walk. I made an attempt at a podcast. To me
it was not a finished delivery on words on the topic of isolation and how to go
inward as a response. To make such a
broadcast more exciting, I need a moderating host.
May the Source be with you!
