TOWARD THE CENTER: Pathways to Me (in words and photo)
Pathways to Me
and summer’s end
have taken me once more
to places I’ve already seen,
to some I’ve never been,
and to many I’ve wanted
to see once again.
They’ve taken me
through the Arizona desert
to the City of the Sun;
to the foot of mountain peaks
where I stood and looked up in awe;
to the far side of the rainbow
where the tranquil waters flow;
to the ocean’s edge
and paradise dreams
and the daily miracles found
in the rising
and setting
of the sun.
And once again the journey,
these pathways that I find,
lead me to places high and low,
on land and sea and in the air,
all leading eventually to the center
where I find each time
a little bit more of the me
I thought I had left behind.
And the pathways of August,
through Summer’s End,
lead me back home
refreshed and renewed
within the sunset’s glow.

Beautiful write Barbara… Awesome pic…different! If Heidi ( inky ) had her way I would too see Arizona sunsets..LOL… God bless.
Thanks so much, Jean! The sunset was amazing from the window of the plane. We were flying east at 38,000 feet and I was looking back toward Hawaii. Actually we were about 3/4 of the way back to L.A. Glad to share a bit of the view from the window. The wing of the plane is barely visible in the right-hand side of the photo. We had just passed from day to night . . . . God bless you too.
