It is an excellent evening for walking so I stroll through the park, pausing to watch the multiple softball games and listen to the pings off the metal bats. As twilight sets in I set off down a favorite path through a prairie restoration with all the plants in summer bloom. All evening the cool clouds would drop occasional sprinkles but right before sundown a gap opened on the western horizon, glowing orange between the dark ground and the darkening sky. I have always enjoyed a little active meditation to clear the mind and a bit of time to put the electronic humming of the information age into some larger perspective.
It would be clever justice if Weare, New Hampshire does condemn Judge Souter's house to build the Lost Liberty Hotel. I hope the developer’s plans include walking paths for the guests through the gardens. It took five Supreme Court votes to remove the restraints on eminent domain but it will only take three votes to demonstrate the consequences of the greater good being imposed top down.
