Pathway By The Stream

DesertWords

Yesterday I looked at a pathway
lazily wandering beside a small
stream at the base of the
mountain.  It disappeared
into a grove of mesquites
and left me standing
there.

Yesterday I looked at a pathway
with my eyes.  Today I see
that pathway with my
heart.

So many things I look at each day.
So few things I really see.

I look quickly.  I see slowly.
One is for identifying.  The
other is for inspiring.  Too
often I forget the other.

    Often if we looked closely. We might see more than a quick glance. Great write.

        You’re right. Most of my writing is inspired by visual encounters. Thanks for the comment.
