The Homing Road ~

at different times

on different days

 the road

still leads home

"Remember what Bilbo used to say:

 It's a dangerous business, Frodo,
going out your door.

 You step onto the road,

 and if you don't keep your feet,
there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
J.R.R. Tolkien 

(The Lord of the Rings, 1892-1973)

The Beckoning ~

It was a

new-to-me road

that beckoned,

calling my name softly.

 I am glad I heeded its call.

"The more side roads you stop to explore,

 the less likely that life will pass you by."

 Robert Brault
