Rounding the corners of life can bring one face to face with many surprises.
Sometimes you turn to the left and there spread before you are cold hardscapes, concrete jungles, pavements, winding gravel paths, rocky roads and stony byways, colored grey by mist and rain................
.......................or you may turn right and feel the sun on your face as it warms a generous landscape made up of meadows painted with wildflowers, grassy pastures, rolling green hills, fields of golden grain and tall primeval forests.
Corners, whether hard right angles or soft rounded curves, are always interesting. Turning them can determine your pathway in life, similar to reaching that fork in the road where you hesitate before deciding whether you should go left or right.
Personally I'm of an age where hopefully I will no longer have to make such an important decision, turn left or go right. I feel my turns have all become straight lines, a road whose perspective disappears into infinity......................and I'm following it joyfully.
I hope you enjoy life's journey no matter which corner you round or road you take.


Mary, you must work very hard to find and put together all these pictures. You have a real talent for it. I hope too your sharp turns are all smoothed out. LOL.

Your photos are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnd your right life is a journey with many twists and turns, and you never know from one day to the other what will happen, so you take it one day at a time and enjoy the ride!

Beautiful "corners & edges" collages of your home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and thoughtful post!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was at a point where I wasn't turning anymore corners - a straight line would be nice!

I love this post! It touched me.
ReplyDeleteYour words are so true, our lives can change so much (for better or worse) with the paths we take! It reminds me of the movie "Sliding Doors" and how a simple thing like missing ya train can cause a whole different outcome.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo mosaics and I was shocked at the comment you left about a comment you got! Wow, the nerve of some people!
What a wonderful post! I too have reached that age :-). Your mosaic pictures are so lovely. I would really love to spend time looking through your beautiful home at these gorgeous pieces that are curvy and edged...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
Your home is full of beautiful corners! I like the photo collages you created.
ReplyDeleteYour post reminds me of a favorite quote from J.R.R.Tolkien -- "Round every corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate."
Your photos are great.
ReplyDeleteI think all of my major decisions are behind me, but I love the daily surprises on my journey.
