The Sun Rises

Bracing against the chill of a March daybreak
and the morning's mortality rate,
I hook Atty's leash and head out the door.
No more than a house and a half away,
we're greeted by bright sidewalk chalk
and a neighbor's note to
"RADIATE POSITIVITY"
and to remember
"Love grows here!"

Standing still,
my walking mantra
changed.


Thank you for the random act of kindness...
