Since I was little, I’ve always liked
paths. That sounds weird doesn’t it? OK, I know it does!
I blame my parents, in the best kind of way.
For years they’ve had a number of paintings on the living room wall which they’ve
collected from the countries they’ve lived in or visited , a few of which have
paths leading through the scenes and I used to look at them often and wonder why the image of
a simple path was so appealing.
Dad and I agreed that there’s just something
about not knowing where they lead, as if each one is the start of a potential
adventure and when you look at it your mind wanders with the path.
I took this photo at a place nearby called
Snape Maltings and every time I look at it I could get lost in thought.
When you look at it, where do you want the
path to lead you?
Beautiful. I remember as kids walking in the bush and finding little paths that took us to awesome places.

DeleteRach, re Paths. It is some time since I last wrote this down so I am not sure if I have remembered it correctly. Anyway this is a quote from Tolkien.

A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”

Love it, thanks Dad x
