how many miles have you walked in your life to get to the place where you are right now? how many miles have you run? or crawled?

how many birds have you seen drawing circles in the blue grey sky? how many hawks, hunched on telephone poles, hunting songbirds?

how many meals have you cooked? how many people have you fed? how many conversations at your kitchen table, how many heart to hearts on your porch, how many broken hearts at night, alone, in your bedroom?
