Leo, born in the year of the Tiger

Be true to yourself
and not follow a path
someone else chooses for you.
-Elvis Stojko

Seek beauty in unexpected places

Walking home today in the commercial construction zone
that is Clarendon, Virgina, I peered around through my
flurrying hair, puzzled for a moment as to where those
wind chimes might be.

Gusty winds were whipping the D rings on many strap ends
against the bare concrete of a half-finished building.

... and the sky was blue with silver-edged clouds scurrying.

No matter who is right or who is wrong,
what can I do to make a difference?
How can I take this negative thing,
and make something positive of it?
Part of being spiritual is becoming
conscious of habitual behaviors
and changing them if they are counterproductive.
