Back on Day 7, 62 posts ago, I dedicated a post to the poet Maggie Smith. I do so again today. Here’s today’s post to herself, to her readers, to the world.

Do not sleepwalk through your life.

I’m in flight again tomorrow. I am not headed home but I am headed back to North America. I’ll spend 6 days in Canada and then home next Sunday. I will stretch when I feel the need. I will blink when exhaustion overwhelms me. I will keep moving forward. I will remain aware of my movements. I will not sleepwalk through these efforts. I will keep moving forward. Keep moving forward.

296 Days to go
