Same route, Highway 10
About three dozen miles
Gray, cloudy and cold
Snow on the ground
What a difference a month will make
No sunshine this day
I think of Henri Nouwen
His meditations on life
During the good time and the bad
It is all in the outlook; the attitude
We make of things what we will
Sometimes to our glory
Other times our demise
How should we proceed?
Does it depend upon the stakes?
Or should we have a philosophy
That keeps us consistent
Through thick or thin?
The rides through life
Take many turns
They will never be the same
Choices will be made
Do we take the path less taken
Or stick to the predictable?
I wonder at this moment
What would Henri do?
