I was going to make out for myself a second road&#8230;. a road that was less travelled. I moved on resolutely. My name would be in big lights soon. I was shaping a path. I was blazing a trail.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t long before I slipped over loose stones, tripped over fallen branches, got myself scratched and poked by brambles and thorns &#8230;nearly stepped on a snake, was chased by a strange and wild looking dog.<\/p>\n<p>The woods were dark and deep for sure. Lovely, I am not certain. One cannot see too clearly through anything that is dark and deep. As I fumbled my way ahead, the woods became darker and deeper and my pounding heart and confused brain wondered about the wisdom of this particular adventure. And when I turned around I could not make out the path I was supposed to have come through&#8230; the path that would take me back to the more travelled road.<\/p>\n<p>I was lost&#8230;. well and truly lost. Behind me was confusion. Ahead of me possible disaster. Wisdom and inspiration are sometimes better left to the books they have been written in.<\/p>\n<p>Tired, disoriented, hungry, parched, dishevelled, broken down and completely helpless, I resigned myself to whatever fate had in store for me.<\/p>\n<p>Things turned favourable. I was rescued by some incidental travellers and brought back home and to familiar surroundings. What a relief!<\/p>\n<p>I will recuperate and get better in a week or two.<\/p>\n<p>After that I shall go back to the woods and try that unfamiliar second road again!<\/p>\n<p><strong><img class=\"wp-image-1338\" src=\"https:\/\/ultrazaps.com\/terryblogg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/http-cards-webshots-com-resources2-6-7486-jpg.png\" alt=\"http:\/\/cards.webshots.com\/resources2\/6\/7486.jpg\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take care.
