Every walk tells a story

just say…art – cambridge

I can hear the Kop ringing out with the famous Liverpool FC anthem, and at least one of the ‘artistes’ who contributed to the wild explosion of color that is Modeca Way, the graffiti alley located right off of Central Square in Cambridge, Mass., will know what I’m talking about.
When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Songwriters: Oscar Hammerstein Ii / Richard Rodgers

Walking at the pace of a duck swimming upstream. Charles River, Cambridge

Having walked along the Charles between the Anderson bridge and Boston harbor on numerous occasions, it seemed necessary to venture upstream, in the other direction, away from the boathouses, the colleges, the views of downtown Boston, Beacon Hill, MIT and the Harbor. Once the site of mills, dams powering local industries, and even a military arsenal, today the shores of the Charles between Watertown and Auburndale offer a woodsy getaway for hikers, bikers, joggers, birdwatchers, and a thriving population of ducks.

Memory lane – Charles River, Cambridge

A pleasant evening walk along the shores of the river that separates Boston from Cambridge. Early childhood memories of feeding ducks and swans and then later, in high school, crewing, on the Lac Léman, Switzerland. And the night a band of miscreants to which I may or may not have belonged,  may or may not have ‘borrowed’ the school motor boat for a night sail.
