Saturday lunch by the koi pond at Salt and Stone. Soothing and a stark contrast to the AI agent who answered when we called to make a reservation. 

Dear restaurants and everyone we do business with. We do NOT want to talk to robots. We prefer humans, or koi in a pinch.

After the 2017 fire it seemed as if all was lost. But the land started over and every spring it is new again. 

A lesson for those of us stuck in old ruts.

Before she left town, my neighbor found time to gather hydrangeas from her garden to leave for me to enjoy while she is away. 

Their beauty and her thoughtfulness filled this afternoon with inspiration, goodness and joy.

Rain on the way. But first, business to attend to at San Francisco City Hall where people are still getting married on a Monday morning.  I walked across the plaza to see Chiharu Shiota: Two Home Countries at The Asian Art Musuem. A celebration of being human. Just go.
