I saw this coyote at the start of my run, from acr

I saw this coyote at the start of my run, from across the ridge. I don’t know if she cared about me any which way, but we ran in parallel for a while and it felt to me like we were running together. When I sped up, she did. When she slowed, I slowed. Then my trail sloped up and hers sloped down and she was out of sight. At the end of my loop, I ran back on her trail and saw her again. She let me watch her hunt for twenty minutes or so, stopping to look at me sometimes, but going about her business like I was of no concern. Sometimes I wonder if being a vegan means I don’t smell like a predator. Eventually she wandered off after new ground squirrel holes and I realized the sun was about to set. I ran back to my car feeling like I belonged in the world today — that I’d spent some time as part of it. #seenonmyrun

For the past week it has been chilly and damp and kind of gloomy and I’ve been feeling kind of chilly, damp and kind of gloomy on the inside too. Sometimes I have a hard time remembering that the way things are right at this moment is not the way they will always be. All week, I’ve been thinking these words from Marie Howe’s poem ‘What the Living Do’ — “We want the spring to come and the winter to pass. We want
whoever to call or not call, a letter, a kiss—we want more and more and then more of it.” So, I laughed when I saw these flowers, said “Thank you,” to them out loud. I needed the reminder that spring really will come again. It really will. It’s on its way. #california #seenonmyrun https://poets.org/poem/what-living-do

Stayed up too late (for no good reason) looking at pictures of our old house in Rochester, getting homesick (or maybe it’s timesick) over the funniest little things. I’m so strangely thankful for this picture of the view through the back door of our garage. I remember all the big things on my own. The photos of the tiny details are the ones I love the most. Do you try to capture the atmosphere of your life? #muchlatergram
