On the Road

No this is not the story of an epic journey and I'm far from Kerouac.  This is the story of the view from the road as it unfolds before me.  I keep a camera within reach as I drive and capture the images on my path.  Each picture has a story ( don't they all). These pics are moments captured from the road.

 The road is a different place. It is experienced more like a series of events .  It's  a place where you are less connected due to the fleeting moment that sights, sounds or events exist,  and then it's gone.   And you keep going.  Or you stop.     What's going to happen next?    You never . . never know . . .

Things happen

quickly and unmercifully

but time can slow down when you slow down

interesting sights are around each corner

sights that are longlasting

and good tasting

 

attention grabbing

inspiring

 and thought provoking.

The road is for money making

the road is home

or a place to get away

the road needs to be minded

and you need to be reminded.

The road takes you there

and you can get there in style.



the road ends at the water

but then you don't need a road to travel.

Traveling is a series of events

through space and time.

Hopefully you find good events

or keep looking for better times

We need time for reflection

time where earthly events might happen 

where nature has more sway

but always back again

 as were headed on our way

trying to get more stuff

or trying to get away.

We're staying on the path

and working in the mud

trying to get to where were headed

or trying to get back home.

We're on the road because we like it

to be in the places that we love

along the country roads

along the highways

sometimes it's enjoyable

and interesting 

 

But you just never, never know.
