Where the Sidewalk Starts

Let’s meet where the sidewalk starts,
Saunter and stroll and share our hearts.
Talk and walk the footpath together,
Let’s ramble and babble no matter the weather.

Let’s hold hands to keep us warm,
Dark clouds warn of distant storm.
Rain can fall and wind can blow,
Let’s keep talking and walking, let’s go.

Steps might falter but our grip won’t break,
Let’s keep on walking ‘til ankles ache
Later our feet we’ll soak and knead
Soothing pain with rest, indeed.

Let lightning strike, let thunder roll,
We’ll keep walking and talking, soul to soul
‘Til the end of this pathway we eventually part,
Let’s meet in the morning where the sidewalk starts.



Shout out to Shel Silverstein for inspiration words and imagination.

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.
