Picnic in the shade

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

view out car window of two motorcyclists, one of whom is nose-deep in a paperback book

I took this yesterday driving up to Maine -- the first motorcyclist, the one driving, is a leather-tanned whip-thin older man, while the blonde woman riding behind has her nose very deep into a paperback book. They were going about 75 miles an hour on the highway. I can only salute her powers of concentration - I never saw her look up from her book once while the pair passed me.

:o That is some serious concentration skill. (Do you think she bottles it and offers it for sale? ^-~) I am awed.
