But by the same token, writing can clear our view of the world. And as humans, we should be participators.<br /><br />AND what a wonderful surprise!!! Thank you so much for the opportunity and the win. All the prizes are very cool.<br /><br />Julie: Hey, daydreaming IS work related. That was I told all of my school and college teachers when they smacked my desk. ;-D ANd thank you. Photography is fairly new to me, but it has become a very satisfying way to tell stories in other ways.<br /><br />Lenny: Well hello Mr. Lenny. Nice to meet you! ;-D Walking down new paths or in others shoes makes us 'better' I think. I learned that in the mental health field.

But a mindful person will learn early why such a road should not be followed and turn back. Or be better equipped learning from others folly and successfully travel that less traveled road using that knowledge. <br /><br />I had spent a career minding my surroundings and people. Not once in my 10 years in the MH field was I injured or attacked. Why? Because I payed attention and kept my head.<br /><br />But thank you and Ulysses for the wise and logical words.<br /><br />As for roads less traveled, all roads were once one of these. How does man know unless he explores. How do we grow unless we reach out.<br /><br />I am like you. I would see the cricket, the abandoned road, the old man sitting alone in the corner of a packed room or pick out the oddest piece of furniture from a junk store or unfamiliar literature from a stack of books.<br /><br />I have always felt this interest to be a gift. I assume you do too. And here is to wishes and majestic Lions.

Sorta. It is always good to be mindful of your surroundings in strange Ulysses also told me that, too.<br /><br />Still, like you, I am often put off by the well-traveled paths, the book everyone is reading, the movie I just have to see.<br /><br />I look for the small cricket in a store's doorway that might need a helping hand to be placed out of harm's way. I look for the small road that leads to wild horses and lush fields of green.<br /><br />But I watch the gas gauge and look for pot-holes.<br /><br />As always, you write a thought-provoking post. Have a beautiful, healing week.<br /><br />I will keep an eye out for that majestic Chinese Lion and add my blank wish to yours, RolandRoland D.
