Your Path May Wander

2007.12.10
Mt. Diablo - Danville area, California

The colors aren't great here, but I just loved the verticalness of the tree trunks, the winding trail, and the gnarly tree branches above.

"Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road.

Along the road
Your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow stronger
Darkness obscures the trail.

Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forebode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road.

Along the road
Your steps may tumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way."

--Dan Fogelberg

lrippel What is it about California light? It's so soft. It's been a few years since I've been out there, your photos take me right back. Thank you!
