On sleepy Saturday night
moon’s silvery glow so-so bright
I’ll kick off my shoes
finding barefoot freedom delight
Toes tickled by grass
from my sneaker less trance
as night unravels
warrant warnings of shoeless travel
Beware the thorns, the prickles, the sticks
for splinters still sting
where hidden dangers lurk
and cut, slice, and nick
Tonight’s cold, dewy, damp ground
chill of the night’s frosty bite
can be quite profound
outdoor barefoot frolicking just might not be right
So, on this crispy-cool Saturday night
when the stars are a-twinkling so-so bright
grass slick and shimmery cold
I’ll bring barefoot frolicking inside

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to...
I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess.
Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter.
So, that’s me. More or less.
