One never knows what’s around the bend, but if it were up to me, I’d travel down that barely there dirt path. It wonders beyond the easy curve and dares the traveler to see beyond the stones that block free will. Roots lay traps, while trees mark the way. Follow where courage leads and you will know freedom.

I LOVE photos and drawings of paths! A few years ago I wrote a devotion on the word “path” for a monthly coffee group from my church. The word appears over and over in the Psalms. It’s such a simple word, but it denotes our life journeys, so it’s a powerful word, too. Thank you for sharing this!
I take pictures of paths wherever I go. At home or abroad, they always have so much meaning.
I love your thoughts.
Thanks.
I don’t know where I come up with this stuff.
I LOVE this photo. Your thoughts just make it better.
Thanks! My muse wandered a bit and I let her.
Very poetic! Going off the beaten path can be scary, but very rewarding too,.
There’s a quote – “Always do what you are afraid to do” – I can’t remember who said it but I’ve always believed in the truth of that statement.
Interesting thoughts. Don’t we all love the path …all of us with a camera!
Absolutely!
Great photo…I’d take the path. I’ll bet it would be rewarding.
Those hidden paths usually have the most to offer.
Love this! There is a trail where I walk that I fondly refer to as the Hobbit trail. It’s small and barely used, curves around by a pond. Hikers must bend beneath branches and pass over makeshift footbridges. It’s a favorite of mine for just the reasons you describe!
Oooo, sounds gorgeous!
I am in the photograph paths club, too. I love this one.
Thanks!
ah there is something about a path that leads our imagination, our desires, our dreams down barely trampled ways.
So true. That’s where the muse resides.
Ah, yes, a less traveled path is far more interesting and secluded, letting you better commune with nature. I think I would follow you through the trees and over their roots to see what lies ahead.
The best surprises always hide behind the branches and leaves.
