    Two prompts combined

    What are your feelings about eating meat? Do you see animals often?

    Every time I eat, I see animals

    I see them for the beautiful things they will become

    I see them as mothers and fathers and part of a family

    I see them for the life they are to live

    And I choose not to eat them

    And I make that choice loudly

    If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

    Freddy Freeloader

    There is a bench

    I know nestled in

    the beach grass 

    where calming cool

    breezes along with

    the hypnotic roar of

    the ocean almost 

    makes me feel guilty

    for listening to 

    Miles Davis

    Nothing

    Is it possible to 

    do absolutely nothing?

    It was my intention 

    for an hour

    a few minutes 

    to do nothing 

    and what is nothing

    no cell phone 

    no book to read

    A blank slate

    Namaste

    Nothing

    nothing is impossible 

    try it for yourself

    listen to a bird

    the breeze

    an electrical hum

     A heartbeat a pulse

    A sign of life within

    Nothing is impossible

    Mood

    Deep blue, azure sky

    backdrop of the perfect autumn day

    leaves changing hue

    October is perfect

    a treasured time of year

    considering the state of the world

    I feel guilty for the spectacular 

    mood I am in

    and that pisses me off

    Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

    I’ve been many places around the world, but for right now I’m gonna stick to the United States.

    I’ve been to all 50 states except for Alaska and Iowa.

    So for now, Iowa will be my favorite place.

    My Favorite 

    An ideal trip for me would be to be put in an airplane and dropped off into a destination unknown. And for now we’re just going to assume we landed in Iowa.

    .

    • We could eat corn
    • Apparently, there’s a famous elevator
    • The Iowa State fair is reportedly pretty cool
    • There’s a lot of corn
    • And then there’s a field of dreams

    We went with a group of family and friends, the tour guide was knowledgeable about the history of the property and the movie. We played baseball on the field and walked in the cornstalks, it really was magical!

    Everything is an adventure.
