Oh Gerty! I love you!

Just before 6 this morning, Gerty wobbled a bit as she rode down the back path to the alley gate. Off to be an election judge, she looked eminently practical with her lights and panniers.

Watching her I realized again how much I love her. I was as stunned and enraptured as if we had just met.

A wobbly start to a bike ride in the dark. An old vase filled with weeds. A poem on the table. Discovering I have a "new" thrift store fleece jacket in the closet.

I don't know what these things have in common - perhaps they only reflect whatever it is that makes Gerty unique. Perhaps they are just out of the ordinary things that remind me that Gerty is around and how glad I am that she is.

About

Rocky Hillside

In the dark of the moon, in the flying snow, in the dead of winter,

war spreading, families dying, the world in danger,

I walk the rocky hillside, sowing clover.

-- Wendell Berry
