As a hiker I have learned it is more than the getting there from here, what there is en route matters too

The moonless night and climbing the cliff was more a slow upward crawl than a quick scamper that Jake normally did it in. But tonight dad had said he could come and help him. Jake had eagerly accepted the offer after months and months of badgering his old man. How hard could it be to carry stuff up the cliffs he found so easy to run up every day. But in the dark it was different he couldn’t see where the safe places to grasp or put his feet were and the pack on his back was weighing heavy. He could see the light of the oil lamp shining from where his dad stood at the cave entrance. “Just a few more feet, son, then you can take a break”
climbing in the dark
there lies the sea’s fresh bounty
where smugglers can rest

Parents try to guide their children as their parents tried to guide them. I am no different. What is the aim to all that, well, I don’t think it is to produce endless generations of mirror images of ourselves. If I had an aim for my lads, it is that they can be the best they can be and be happy. Here goes…

This time last week I wrote my haiku on a notepad and sat next to my pond, it was too hot, and not a puff or a breeze to cool things down. Today I can’t do that, the sky is overcast and there is a cool breeze bringing the first drops of rain. It might be all the rain we get, but the drops are there popping a rippling circle on the pond at random. A good day for the fish as they like it cooler.
