This morning I wrote in my notebook, and drank my coffee. Then I strapped on my camera, to walk around this ancient city. Thank you, Greg Brown. His lyric actually goes like this . . .

I’ll walk around
Some ancient city
Write in my notebook
And drink my tea
Don’t have to make love
’cause love made me
And I’ll be happy
Just by myself

This lyric has become my mantra, for my days in Oaxaca. I will be forever grateful to Rodrigo S-C, for turning me on to Greg Brown. Both of these men have enriched my life beyond measure. Thanks, guys.

I also changed up my routine this morning, and got out of the house earlier than normal. Along with changing my routine, I changed the lens on my camera. Talk about shaking things up! And so glad I did.

I have to say this morning’s walk with Joni, was the best we’ve have had in the past six weeks. I can only think that the planets must have realigned overnight. So I will thank them as well. Thank you, planets.
