A New Vista

Walk a loop trail in the opposite direction and everything looks strange. Familiar landmarks seen from an altered perspective present a different view. That face in the tree stares across the path and ignores my passing.

We took the left fork instead of the right and everything changed—the incline steeper, the rocks leaning toward the water, and the place we usually stop and sit disappeared.

To walk a different path
and see a new landscape
is an open invitation
to see the world in a new light
