Caitlyn and the Earthworm

Yesterday while walking up the concrete steps of one of my piano families' condominiums, I noticed an earth worm inching along. I looked up and down and side to side. Concrete everywhere. I have no idea how he got there, but I wanted to help him out. Over the concrete wall there was a tiny patch of landscaping, and I decided to drop him over. I bent to pick up the worm rather reluctantly, but the moment I touched it, it practically started seizing! I leapt back in surprise, and then laughed at my squeamishness as the worm quieted down and went on his way. I tried again. Same reaction. I just could not bring myself to grasp his wrigley, wormy body! I had no idea I was such a wimp.

I shook my head as I walked away and said aloud to him, "I'm sorry, I can't save you." I wonder where he is now.

Playing for Change

This is my new favorite social organization. I bought their CD/DVD that came out a few months ago, and can't stop listening to it.
