The Joy of Walking
On my last walk, I spotted a blue heron sitting quietly by the pond and even managed to snap a photo with my phone. I wonder if the bird will be there again. A deer drinking from the small stream flowing across the trail lifts its head and looks at me, but it does not flee.

This planet, once a schlocky sketch
Made by December’s hue — graphite —
Becomes a splendid fresco where
The paints are flowers and sunlight.
The sky, a multiplex-like screen,
Displays a movie where a few
Small, plumy planes hide in the clouds
Then once again appear in view.

Life is like a meandering path through a fantasy world forest. Amid the trees wildlife, monsters, and new directors could come at you, detouring your life plan, your hopes, your dreams. But not all side roads are bad things. Some could be wondrous moments that lead to delights and growth, others may simply bring you path to your truest road after a bit of wandering. After all, as our beloved Tolkien once put it, “Not all those who wander are lost.”
