the journey did not take long
I have remembering of when it was adventure

the hum of the road
the challenge of the directions
the delight in the rest stop

it was
always duty bound
my job
my way
my creation into the world

it is  still this  a journey of duty
and yet
wonder now  held in hand

my life in the slow lane

I find the mile markers I am seeking right outside my front door
the hum of the road  sings from my sidewalk
the directions that can take me to my next stop  twine through the
flowerbeds 
staircases 
front porch 
the guiderails leading in one clear direction

home
