Don’t worry, spiders —
I keep house
casually.
— Issa Kobayashi, trans. Robert Haas.
Every day a journey waits, if we seek one of the boats waiting at the dock.
Sometimes the way is closed …
Sometimes it pays to ask who closed it, and whether you can open it.
Sometimes what appears a wall …
is a series of steps.
No rush to the top (or the bottom).
Each step can also be a rest point on the journey.
