Working and writing, distilling life and listening, watching. Some people stand out because of their work, commitment to community. A stew of what is noticed, actions, choices, vision follows.

Never forgotten, my Great Uncle Captain William F. Murphy 81st Inf Div was KIA on Peleliu in 1944. He lies at rest in Arlington National Cemetery surrounded by so many other American heroes. 🇺🇲 ✟ 🍀

Ask most children what they want to be when they grow up, and the top answers usually include firefighter, pilot, teacher, veterinarian, photographer, reporter, writer, artist… and a human who can ride horses.
Gymkhana is a timed obstacle race on horseback, so practice, knowing your horse and your own skills combine. To watch is amazing because there is so much heart, teamwork, knowledge and conditioning involved.
“A good gymkhana horse must have the speed of a race horse, the turning quickness and agility of a cutting horse and the control and responsiveness of the stock horse.”
In recent years Gymkhana has been steadily gaining in popularity. New events have been designed for competition between riders which bring into play the abilities of the rider and the speed and handiness of the horse. A number of events such as Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, and the Arena Race, can be found at gymkhanas throughout the U.S. Think of it as field day for horse and rider.
Fun day, June 4.

As for the origin of the word (etymology is fascinating), “gymkhana (n.) 1854, Anglo-Indian, said to be from Hindustani gend-khana, literally ‘ball house,'” said in Yule & Burnell's 1886 glossary of Anglo-Indian words to be ‘the name usually given in Hindu to an English racket-court.' The second element is from Middle Persian khan ‘house,' from Iranian *ahanam “seat,' from PIE *es- “to sit.' Altered in English by influence of gymnasium, etc.” — Etymonline.com
Editor's note: By the way, the details of the 2016 video; the set of equine ears seen swiveling in the foreground belong to Dunny, a Quarter horse gelding; friend Brianna Poissant is in the saddle.

Coming up, catching up. Elephants to Pratt Street. A pond, a place. Learning about a pandemonium of parrots. That pencil-like cupola seen on commutes emerging into the world and with an incredible mission, history, community.
