The birthday blessing¹²

At five o’clock this morning when I went out to run, inwardly I blessed Robin’s soul because today is his birthday. Then, a little after six-thirty, I went out to run again and this time I saw Robin in the physical. He was near Savyasachi’s house. I was running down the 150th Street hill when I saw him press his wristwatch and start running with long strides. I thought that I would turn around and meet him. But then I said to myself, “I will never be able to catch him.”
