Advice for night hawks ( From the cycle NIGHTS)

Norman Flagtea

Walk slowly.

Put some pebbles on the head stones.

Country music!

Bury your hands in your coat pockets.

You may want to take the car.

Smiling is o.k.

Play "Don't step on the cracks in the pavement".

Treat the runaway kid to a cup of coffee.

Turn up your collar.

Go by the church and look up the confession hours.

Learn to whistle through your teeth.

Don't try to remember titles or names.

Hope for the best. But don't count on it.

Know where to find the Big Dipper.

Imagine you were on your way home.

Don't let on.

See it all as a comic strip.

Compose a letter to God in your mind.

    An important ‘to do’ list to follow! Reads with ease but in an orderly fashion. Thanks for the write! Interestingly I have published one of those ‘letters to God’ on my page here.

    Excellent. I like the flow.
