Green Don‘t run on the pool deck or in the slush-slick winter lobbies of Minneapolis towers. Don't run in the supermarket, where you might smash your eggs— or your neighbor‘s. Walk, don’t run, at the airport where undue speed bespeaks terror. Take your time: Slow down for children and old folks, the hearing- impaired and the blind, not to mention the deer and the squirrels, the rabbits, raccoons, and those strange swallow—like birds that swoop unexpectedly out of the fields and across the road right in front of your car. Don‘t run through the Abstract Expressionist galleries at the Walker. Walk— or you might miss a Kline or a Motherwell.

Walk, don’t run~or you might not remember how you got here. 59 Show less
