Five updates on the New York City AIDS Walk – Sunday, May 17, 2017
1. I will probably not walk on Sunday. I had not paid close enough attention to my flights and now know I arrive at JFK at 7:25 AM. I will give it a go, but it seems unlikely to me that I will be able to make it to registration. I will also try to find Sean and the Marie’s Crisis team.
2. I will walk 10K at some point if I do not make it on Sunday.
3. I will let you know when I walk and I invite friends to walk with me if they are so inclined and available.
4. Sean has pretty well crushed me in fundraising. That’s great because the cause is worthy!.
5. But you still have time to make a gift and decrease the margin of my fundraising defeat.
See you along the Trail.

Not sure what it is;
it isn’t flowers;
but purple it is.

Manhattan, New York
This place,
this place of waiting,
looks familiar.
I have been here before.
I have waited
for storms,
some arrived,
some passed by.
Now I find myself
in this place where
I have been before.
Waiting
for the predicted storm
the epic storm
the record-setting storm.
News reports raise anxiety
in the city,
in the region,
and in me.
As I read,
as I listen,
I remember
that the place where I wait
is warm and snug,
safe, secure.
I remember
sisters and brothers
who will find themselves outside
in whatever storms may come,
who have
no safe place to wait;
no warm place to hunker;
no secure place to ride out the storm’s fury.
I remember
sisters and brothers
who find themselves outside
in whatever storms may come
because they face a choice
between going to work
and losing a job.
I remember
sisters and brothers
who will find themselves outside
in whatever storms may come
as they seek to protect the people
and make passable the streets
and keep the city moving.
I wait and
I remember.
