Sometimes when I’m walking, I turn left instead of right, or right instead of left, and thereby discover a whole new landscape. This can be annoying if I am in a hurry but the best thing to do is, to my way of thinking, to continue into the adventure …
UNKNOWN ROAD
I took the wrong turning 
and lost myself
between a gravel pit
and a thousand years
of Douglas firs
a dirt track pointed
across a blue map
without compass
so I took a tree
between my teeth
it tossed me
out and up
into a sky
of discovery
