Someone built a road up the mountainside and then, surprisingly, down the other side beyond my understanding and appreciation of the misty and the vague, the indefinable, and the most decidedly never to be known in the course of my lifetime. Someone sowed the seeds on both sides simultaneously for the wild and the beautiful, the sane and practical, the dreamer, believer, and seasonally bewitched, to bedazzle the eyes of each and every traveler purporting so to go where no one’s gone before. Someone planted trees already fully grown but they all started out just like you and me crawling on all fours beyond their boundaries and then clutching, grabbing … anything as an undeniable means of support. Love travels that road between the good and bad up, up, and further up, till on the peak it stalls and it stays there immobile in the grip of fantasy enthralled with the prospect of self induced release. Someone brought the rain and the mountain had to go and of love it merely tumbled back to the beginning to wander lost and lonely amidst the dry and barren unaware, completely, of how close it was one day to the misty and the vague, the indefinable, and the only place to be forever more, amen!

Thank you all so much for reading and for commenting. Oh, and Lee, I guess we all climb and slide even when we know, or think we know, what's on the other side. We just don't know it well enough to put the necessary effort in. |
