Pathways

Walking rocky paths
along the road less traveled;
Still we forge ahead.

This Haiku was written for One Deep Breath.

That photo tugs at my heart strings, since it's from New Zealand! (Though it's winter here now and raining, not like the photo at all). A lovely haiku

The road less traveled may have more rccks, but it also has a better view! Thank you for the splendid haiku.

That's so cool! I'm still working on mine. I wrote this one last night, similar to yours, but decided to go a different...path. ;) I think it's cool that we both had similar concepts.

the path is covered
with rocks. I stumble around
hoping not to fall.

Determination. Strength. Perseverence. A beautiful illustration of my new power words.

What a beautifully descriptive haiku...such an accurate representation in words of the photo you have chosen. It looks like it would be a challenging hike!

[Ali]

This haiku perfectly sums up why I love the life I lead, and why I continue to push forward even when I feel alone and overwhelmed and lost. The rewards at the end are unbelievably worth it!

Thanks for sharing.

Where is this?

I like your haiku! ;)

Yes, rocky indeed.

Loved this.

I live near a ravine that looks like this one. Yesterday Django, my favorite dog, took me for a walk through it.

I got tired, but I "forged ahead" -- we have to.

I like hiking very much. I love the haiku and the picture. Thank you. That remains me "past" lives...and news to come.

Really great to read this on a dreary Monday morning!

[DebR]

That's lovely!

I love your haiku's and the photo is beautiful. I haven't hiked in about 5 yrs (since my girl was born) and seeing this photo made me want for the woods!

Thank you for starting my day with a powerful philosophy in such few words- very masterful! This deserves to be printed and posted near my desk for daily encouragment.

What an affirming haiku/philosophy :-) This looks very similar to the hike I took on Friday morning up near Camp David! I'm afraid I didn't forge quite all the way though.....next time!
Thanks!
