Island Mystery

Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked,
in which you can walk with love and reverence.
Henry David Thoreau

Imagine!

South Pacific dreamy day.
Barefoot in sand and water.
Feel each prickly shard of shells.
Step in waters warm and clear.

Look one way clouds darkly loom
while blue skies peek beyond gloom.

Choose your path, footprints in time,
sunken in your heart and mind.

Experience the mystery!

The path of knowledge, wisdom,
understanding who I am,
means to feel each prickly shard,
immerse myself, become one.

One who loves oneself complete
and in reverence, finds sweet peace.

Mystery Island (Inyeug), Vanuatu

Your perspective, your choice.
Your perception, your sight.
Your interpretation, your path.

    Love the feet!!!! Lol. You have a wealth of memories from your trips. I admit, I felt a pang of sorrow looking at the ship out in the water. Life has thrown you a curve. These pictures are a treasure. Keep pondering and sharing. Love it!!! Keep writing Vicki. It’s as much therapy for my soul as it is for yours.
