First Friday

Already Friday.  I got up extra early to take advantage of the morning coolness. It has been a while since I ran on Deer Island. It was surprisingly dry from the rains of last night. I thought some parts might be flooded but they were not.  I wondered if this would be the day that I was arrested or stop for running while black. Yesterday an African-American student had the police called on her while eating in the cafeteria of the college that she attends. This is always on my mind. That and in contrast, I was taken by the morning beauty of seeing the sunrise and the still of the water.
