I’ve lived the fog of distance –
life’s highway a series of hills
destination without promise
Have learned that acceptance gains perspective
that climates change, and hope sustains
and that in the stillness dreams renew.
Now I travel quieter paths, appreciate
space, have surrendered to a slower pace –
certain that this too will change.
(For Lens-Artists Challenge: distance)
Very nice post, I hope things do not change for you if that is what you want.

Another thought-provoking post. I am perfectly happy to travel quieter paths, to give my head a chance to settle.

Hopefully this poem does not mean that one should stop traveling.

During the current epidemic, it is frowned upon. We are encouraged to stay home. Thus the last line – this too will pass.

Yes there is indeed something to be said for a slower pace VJ. And you’ve said it beautifully both in words and images.

Yup … whatever is won’t be indefinitely … everything always changing. It’s these unexpected abrupt changes that leave us frantically gasping. (Grateful I can still gasp!)
