The Man from Namibia
when the wind blows
he pedals, the stronger the wind,
the faster he pedals,
his jointed wooden legs pumping
up and down, round and round.
his green safety flag waves in the wind,
his face is one of grim determination
but alas, he goes nowhere.
Only his view of the garden changes
with the prevailing wind.

Karen bought this little man in a rural market in Namibia. There is only one craftsman who makes them. I feel honored to have him pedaling in my garden when the wind blows.
