Day Pack

Sending my pack ahead and using a day pack for a few days, to give my foot a rest...

The best-laid plans of Mice and Women...

Mochila Grande y Chica

Excerpt from, To a Mouse by Robert Burns

But mouse-friend, you are not alone

In proving foresight may be in vain: 

the best-laid schemes of Mice and Men

go oft awry,

and leave us only grief and pain,

for promised joy!

This got me thinking of another poem 

by Rumi

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. 

I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.

Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense.

For Jane who loved poetry.
