I thought today is a good day to express my appreciation – love having you all around. Seriously.

It is also a good day to remind all of us, now that you’ve listened to the song and Stevie Wonder’s expressed desire to fly kites and ride camels, that playfulness and adventure is not just a luxury, but a necessity to live fully nourished lives.

The visual representation of today’s claim then, is the one found on my resumed neighborhood walks, or should I call them shuffles….

A fist raised in defiance to all that stands in the way of calling in what we really need for more than sheer survival.

Bring on the camel! I’ll soon be ready to ride.
