The Journey Inward

I walk the same basic routes,
on a daily basis,
but yet it's rarely if ever 
the same walk twice.

Sure, there's the weather,
the time of day,
the day of the week,
and those all make a difference.

But it seems to me,
that I always see something
I've never spotted before,
though surely it was there.

Or maybe it wasn't,
and just by being observant,
and present,
I take it in.

I am a fast walker,
and most of my companions complain,
but I do stop frequently to snap pictures
of things that inspire or move me.

It delights me, really,
these simple walks,
and picture collages,
that make me feel connected.
