A bike ride today
Slowly through puddles and chill.
I hope to do more.
Today I got to perform the sacred rites of helping a friend pack for a move. We shared breakfast, coffee, water, joyful tunes, and the surprise of skilled book people when it comes to packing those delicate and breakable things. A codex is sturdy, but it will break more quickly than imagined.
There were three of us, a regular three of cups at a temple to honor the riches of a quiet and textured life. I felt a little worried at first because I was late. And then because one of friends has actually studied methods of packing books to insure their safety and's then it was all fine because we pack books in almost precisely the same way.
In the end, our friend was delighted and the way forward was eased in good humor and excellence.
