The Mid Atlantic “fall line” is dotted with old mill towns and some old mills. There was a big one in #mytown of Laurel MD that burned down in 1991, and now the space is part of a riverside park. It‘s a good place to walk.

This picture is from late August several years ago when I paused to sit on a bench and collect myself. It had been a difficult summer, but sitting to rest by the river gave me a sense of peace and well being. #anewchapter

I peeked outside to spy this unprompted meditation moment. Who even are these kids? The breeze is gently swaying their swings. It‘s quite lovely, actually.

TobeyTheScavengerMonk “What are you two doing?” “Oh, nothin‘ Mom. Just realigning the chakras and emptying our hearts of desire” is how I imagine that conversation going. 6y
