Expectations

 

February 25, 2026

 

Today will be a warm day here in Las Cruces, NM. Maybe near 80 degrees F. This morning, I rode my Trike down to Litas’s and had her sew a few patches onto my cut. She’s a great biker herself; also rides a trike.  We talked about families. She’s Mexican American and owns her own shop. After that I rode over to our local Walmart and greeted people while sitting on the park bench.

 

“Beings are numberless, I vow to free them” our vow goes. So I greet people, ask how they are, and sometimes entertain a conversation. We often discuss our gratitude for waking up in the morning since many are elderly like me. These are small, but not insignificant, musings together. They are connections within our small community. And while most return my greetings return, some don’t, choosing to walk on by. I’ve mentioned this before in other posts. I guess it still bothers me a bit, but then, who am I to have such an expectation. All part of my practice today.

 

                Take care all,
