I hope taking a walk will alolow me to disengage in
current events for a few minutes.
I am mesmerized by the huge pitcher plant on display in a local
flower shop. Each time I walk by it I have to stop to admire its beauty
and ingenius design. I have always recognized the irony of being a
vegetarian who is fascinated by carniverous plants.

The cops were out in full force along the busy street, a painful
reminder of yesterday's events and the world's collective fears.
