Where to spend the day in your city?What day do you look forward to? Now I am lying in the grass at today’s favorite location.Where a park, a library, and a good place to eat are all in walking distance.I’ve emerged from the food truck weekend into a Monday with no obligations.I picked one place to be all day, and it was here that I picked.
I want to follow . I want to live like _. This spider knows where it wants to go.It decided its future lies down this yellow brick road.If I live like a lizard in the sand well that’s because I want to.A spider has somewhere to go and a lizard has somewhere to stay.
Why wear hats?All I need is _. The sun burns, but it can’t burn this roof.The metal is a shield against the sun’s attack.I wish I could build a roof like this and live under it rent-free.If you have a dream you should chase it.
If you didn’t need sleep, how would you spend your nights?What photo is special to you? When I’m bicycling a long distance, my thoughts can stretch a long distance.The steady motion of my feet puts me to sleep somehow. I am dreaming but awake, and I am almost unaware of bicycling.My memories are snapshots of places between here and there, but I don’t know when or where. It becomes hard to remember where I’ve been.An asteroid in space passing other…
Do you remember what happened the day before yesterday?I once found _. I blinked and it was morning.The full moon flew across the night sky in less than a second. Somehow I was fast enough to catch a photo of it before it was gone.I tried on many pairs of shoes at the store, but couldn’t find one that fit. Then I found a pair of brand new shoes that someone left on the bus stop bench. They fit perfectly.Somehow…
I would like to walk down a quiet street with (who).How to be a considerate person. If you take the long way, through the neighborhoods on quiet side streets.You see where people live, and it’s more interesting than the noise on the main road.You’re in better company on the side street. Gardens with plants growing side by side.But the main road will take you out of town and drop you on the sand.
What about you tells where you’re from?I am glad I found __. I immediately recognized this image on a shelf in a thriftstore.This is from Vietnam. The paper label in the protective plastic sleeve confirms it.The weather that day was very windy. The dust in the air made the sky glow softly red.The whole day had a feeling of something unexpected.
How hot did it get today? Do you like this weather?Why don’t people come out? Where have you sat for hours? I can wash my clothes in the sink before I go to work.The sun is hot and the air is dry. I don’t need a drier; the clothes will be dry.It was 93 F today, and next week it will be 100 F. People don’t come out for food trucks in this heat. We sat there all day.How many…
Are you patient? It took me a long time to _.Do you change a lot or stay the same? A snail looks stopped, but it is still moving.You need to slow down to see it. There’s someone waiting at the bus stop.His 2 eyes see to one side. He slowly knows where to go.But the way forward is not clear.
Have you changed a lot since you were a kid?What is something that you do everyday? Small steps can go a long distance.The apples are a little bigger each time I pass by.The ants are doing lots of work, but a little at a time.All you need is to be consistent.
