Chased by the Ways of the World

I can see the gentle stokes of color, just like the softness the heart whispers.

Whispered words, cannot be heard
But, only by the heart
As it should be
My love, my love

Some things in life are worth doing it again. The exactness of that feeling will never come again, but, the joy? Does it matter when the joy is still there? I have hiked some of the same paths for years, not every time, but, time and again, I come back to revist, look to see the small things I missed on other trips. It is the same trail, but, different view. Do you purposely go a different way?


It is nice to have a fresh voice, day in, day out. But the charm of elevating this day trumps finding another to take its place.

Some days
Your beauty will spill over
Captivating
Turning my life
Inspiring those words wrapped in my thoughts
Reminding me, today
What a wonderful life

Never to be chased by the ways of the world, run away! Run away!
Leaving instead a dreamy image that will lift the heart for the journey of the words
Sort your heart, letting love take the lion's share, kindness be second in command the rest to good deeds.

Words have some degree of inadequacy
When I gaze upon your loveliness
You speak without saying a word
Unfurling your very thoughts
Into the whispers of the woods


Seems I have more of these than I deserve. Sometimes life is just too good to me. And they jump. Isn't that a bonus?

All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.

It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Yikes that is a proper man eater! I have encountered a few along the way in working in Bens room. He will never ever allow a spider to be killed. At best he will remove one to the outdoors lol. I love spiders as much as anyone, but not in my bedroom...even I have some limits lol.

 2 years ago  

Sarah won't allow any to be killed either. She will remove them from my sight. That one was on my front porch, just waiting for me.

Hehe! Thank goodness it was a man-eater, yes? I wouldn't want it any other way!

In fact, everything repeats itself ... from our little walks to history. Even our blogs are repeated, with small changes, with something new added.
Another poem by Denise that puts me to the test and makes me envious of our colleagues who understand much more than me from your words. Your photos save me, as always!

Isn't that the truth?

Good morning from here, Dan. Still morning, anyway. Summer is really living up to its reputation. The warmth of the day is already too warm and hopefully cools down for the rest of the week, although, not likely.

I hope you are having a great week!

Good morning from someone who will soon be saying good night! This is a reality that I hardly accept, the time difference.

Same with me, this summer is too hot and even though it forces me to hide from the sun, it remains my favorite season.
The week started well, it's nice when you don't get bad news, isn't it? I hope it keeps going like this.
Happy days ahead. That's what I wish you!

Happy days indeed! It's a gardening day!

You are such a darling and thank you sincerely for the kind donation Lady Denise.

Change is a constant and yes I purposely walk a different road in life with a different purpose if that makes sense.

A lovely post here that deserves some !LUV and a !PIZZA

I always wish it were more!

Change is constant and walking a different road with a different purpose makes perfect sense. Thank you for stopping over!

Pizza and love! My favorite!❤️

Walk to the deep end and jump right in with your words! Sounds like a great plan in many ways. Better to not be a passenger in this beautiful life.

Hello @zekepickleman !!!

Darn straight! It's a plan! How are you and when are you going to be back! I ran over to your place early this morning to your place and your post is 8 days old! Eight days!!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words!

My Blog may be 8 days old for some reason but I only missed one post while gone 10 days. They are under Posts as I used the @actifit app most times because of my insane number of vacation steps.

Back to reality now but I am dragging my heels a little in the summer.

 2 years ago  

Thank you!!! It was so unlike you!! I was checking posts in between finishing the markets!

Thanks you!! I need to hear all about it! Im headed back over!

Careful with your neck as actifit seems to be spinning images upside down! I will do a recap for you with the highlights sometime this week ;)

 2 years ago  

You are the very best!!!

 2 years ago  

OMG! You were right! That is just so wrong! What is up with actifit? I will try again tomorrow! That is a little unsettling for the eyeballs!

Ever changing the path is never boring, to see small change is worthy of notice, always a walk sway along with the flowers.

Oh that awesome spider looks similar to our Golden Orb Web Spiders weaving dazzling threads between the trees, she is a beauty I do believe he is a lot smaller.

Words to swim around my head when walking in the sunlight again tomorrow.

!LUV

For me too, change or not, it is never the same. This looks similar to your spider, I thought it was a golden orb, but, the markings look a tad different. It is almost as big as the palm of my hand.

Words are always swimming in my head, I just need to catch a few every day and then release the rest. Thank you so much for stopping by! ❤️ Thank you for your words. Always. Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Golden-orb it is, she is similar size here harmless to humans and pets, found in warm places around the world, always exciting to see one.

I talk to the visitors that come to visit my garden or along paths, sensible answers ensue 😀.... Happy Tuesday!

Beautiful words, as always Denise.
I tend to wander the same trails with new ones in between to change it up. I always see new things. As everything is ever changing. I just love noticing details… I truly watch out for them.
What a wonderful flowers. Great captures.
Not a fan of spiders though hehehe 🤭

Have a wonderful evening 👋🏻😁😊🥰 and enjoy your week.

 2 years ago  

Oh, yes! I have some of my favorites and you can always move away from them while still on them. There are always new things, or perhaps my eyes have reached further to see new things.

I don't like spiders or snakes. Just saying. :)

Have a great night and I hope you are still steeping. The week has started off with a bang! Good night!

 2 years ago  

Maybe that’s just it, we trained our eyes to see more new things.

Nope I’m so with you… on both. They are just scary. I was standing once eyes and eye with a viper. It came up like a cobra… nope not my thing at all. I run…

Thank you so much, I was sleeping when you replied. And I got up late today hehehe 🤭 I think my body wanted to catch up a bit 😎 we walked a lot in Paris. Between 14 and 20km a day.
Good I could be late up today. Drinking a cappuccino now… waking up slowly 😉☺️
Have a wonderful start of your day too Denise 👋🏻☀️
Enjoy it!

 2 years ago  

Thank you! Paris is made for walking! :) The body knows when it needs rest!

A viper? No thanks! I'm all good without that. I hope the rest of your day is going well!

 2 years ago  

Yes, it is… and so much tree lined roads and parks to rest. We truly loved walking everywhere.

Won’t ever mention again. I’m the same… horrible those things.

Thank you so much, so far all good. Enjoy your afternoon and evening too Denise 👋🏻😁🤗🥰

Whenever they jump it really is a bonus Denise!
Gorgeous pictures to accompany some vibrant verbage:)
Wishing you the most stupendous week ahead!

 2 years ago  

Thanks, Ed! @tengolotodo They really do jump and it scares the bejesus out of me! Nothing funny about that! :) Well, maybe a little! Can you hear me all the way in Scotland! I am pretty sure you might be able to.

Nothing worse than jumping spiders.

Wishing a great week ahead! Thanks for stopping by!

Oh trust me I know, when I was inspecting HUD houses in Florida many moons ago, one jumped onto my hand as I opened a vacant house door and bit me, I still have the fang scars!
So yes I think I heard you Denise:)

 2 years ago  

No way!!! Did it really bite you? I thought they just jumped! Thanks, Ed! Another reason to love them!!!

I was sure you heard me!

Yes it bit me, those little fang bites are little scars still to this day!
Hehe and yes I did Denise:)

I love the white and purple flowers that look like they are growing on rocks, they are just beautiful.

 2 years ago  

Thank you! I love them too, any flowers that come cascading down like that. I love finding interesting ways to plant and show them off to their full advantage.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words. I hope you have a wonderful night!

Very thoughtful words! I really like the macro images you have there too. I keep forgetting my new phone has a macro mode and I really need to do some fiddling with it at some point. I'd like to start snagging some more macro shots.

 2 years ago  

I love macro! For the longest time, I only posted macro! I really love the up close and personal look of objects.

Hi, Jay! @bozz I hope you had a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words!

Life jumped like a spider! Yup! Spider-Man! Never too much fun in life, just plenty to share!

 2 years ago  

It truly does, doesn't it? There should always be a little bit of fun in life! Hello, Kaminchan! I hope you are having a wonderful week!

Thanks so much! Your words always keep my spirit up and chase away all the dull vibes!

Most time in life, we concentrate on that which is obvious, not knowing that the little things and also beautiful and significant,just like the flowers and the spider on the web.

Ah, and that is what is awesome about the road less traveled. It lets us experience what few do!
