Pounding the Pavement in Kiryat-Ono

You don’t need a suitcase,

And there’s no need to leave your keys with a neighbor.

Ignore all forms of transportationavailable…

(even if the broomstick

s seem ready for take off).

So dust off those sneakers, my friend. This is about pounding the pavement!

But remember to tread

carefully!

Ignore the no-access signs

(even the decorated

ones are not for you!).

You can overcome obstacles in your path

Don’t worry, you won’t get lost,

all directions are equally good.

Forget the headphones, you need to listen for the birds!

And take notice of who is busy watching

YOU!

Sometimes you need to

bend down,

and then look

straight up.

It’s O.K. to rest your feet and sit on a bench for a while….

It’s a good chance to check out the trees.

Don’t listen to

naysayers!

There’s ALWAYS

something to see,

Such as the ongoing battle between

modern life and nature.

You may even encounter some friendly aliens, you never know…

And suddenly you’ll find you’ve done it!

Don’t seem so surprised!

It’s easy to find something interesting to see every day, for 365 days, when you know how to look!

But don’t stop!

You won’t WANT to stop anyway…

Would you like to see more?
