With the Blogger problems of this past Friday and Saturday, not all of the notes are being posted here as they should - one of them being from Ma Beck.
Ma Beck wrote as follows: Tim, Love the photo! It reminds me so much of the road leading to my parents' home, the home I grew up in.
I spent many a hot summer day walking down that dusty road, looking for something to do, wishing I could go somewhere exciting.
Funny thing is, now, when I go back home (as I will today on the 6:30PM flight) all I want to do is STAY home and enjoy my parents and siblings. :)
Tim Rice responds:
Thanks, Ma Beck. Funny how time changes our perspectives, isn't it? But there is a sacredness about our past that we often don't have the perspective to recognize until we are some years older.
Hope you had a safe trip home and a good time with family.
Hi fred. I didn't bother posting or reading blogs yesterday either. I wasted my Friday evening that way. That was enough.
And you're right that the only way to find what is around the next bend is to take it. But sometimes unfortunately the day ends before I can take that bend. But on the bright side, that might mean that at least some of the time, I am making the most of the time given me. :)
Now, this is amazing. This reminds me so much of my home in Germany and of my childhood. We had loads of these bends in the road and I couldn´t wait to run along and see what is behind teh corner. Thank you for this picture!
This picture really sums up exactly how I'm feeling right now, because I've got a big trip up my sleeves, but it's too early to post about it. The trail is definitely beckoning!
Hi crystal. It sounds like you're planning something potentially adventurous. I say - Go for it! And when the time is right, do post about it. I'll be looking for it! :)
Thanks, monika. I'm glad this picture brought back good memories of your home and childhood in Germany. This particular picture was actually taken not far from Souderton, PA near some wetlands.
Thanks, trailady. I plan to keep seeking what is around the next bend. Seeking what is around the next bend is part of choosing to really live one's life.
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

The only way to find out is to take that turn.
Blogger has been such a pain this weekend. I didn't even bother posting or commenting yesterday because it was so bad.

That's a beautiful poem & the picture is perfect. I am also a poet! Keep seeking what is around the bend. :o)
