Think Once, Act Twice

So far as my experience goes, travelers generally exaggerate the difficulties of the way. Like most evil, the difficulty is imaginary; for what's the hurry? - Thoreau

Fields of Grey - Pastel by Kathy McDonnell

Weak legs buttressed by a fickle faith.

Belching the indigestion of selfish, foolish pride.

Going against the galvanizing grain and immutable tide.

Everything has a price.

At least I'm getting better at ...

... thinking once and acting twice ...

Author's Note

"A lady once offered me a mat, but as I had no room to spare within the house, nor time to spare within or without to shake it, I declined it, preferring to wipe my feet on the sod before my door. It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil." - Thoreau
