Which Way to Go

 

It may be that when we no longer know what to do

we have come to our real work

and that when we no longer know which way to go

we have begun our real journey.  

- Wendell Berry

 ". . . wanderer, there is no path, the path is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again."

- Antonio Machado

Metaphorical thinking helps us connect to the secrets and mysteries inside. If one decides to experience what lurks behind the door or deep inside one's own cavern, self-knowledge awaits. 

Robert Frost felt, "poetry takes you to a place you have been and thought you'd never return to."

Days provide challenges and chances to take. 

At sunset, the sun exhausts its focus and blends into the sea.

Shades and clouds merge.

Colors translate the sky.

Tangerine transpires

into persimmon.

Where sun dragons

prance.

Move into the darkness. 

Bring a lantern for revitalization. 

        Illuminate sensitivities.  

Take on the night.
