60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: When Is the Trail Not a Trail?
Hello to you listening in Danvers, Massachusetts!
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.
These past 9 months or so have felt like the dark night of the soul, over and over and over again. Think the movie Groundhog Day. If this is a crisis of faith, I would say, how do I find the way out? Where is the trail? But, what if there’s another way? As in this poem by Gary Snyder:
The Trail Is Not a Trail
“I drove down the Freeway
And turned off at an exit
And went along a highway
Til it came to a side-road
Drove up the side-road
Til it turned to a dirt road
Full of bumps, and stopped.
Walked up a trail
But the trail got rough
And it faded away—
Out in the open,
Everywhere to go.” ["The Trail Is Not a Trail" by Gary Snyder, from Left Out in the Rain. © North Point Press, 1986.]
