The Open Trail is Wondrous

A sample of my perspective from my everyday life. Whenever I leave the familiarity of my neighborhood and the safety of my home, I must face the outside world as I leave behind all that is close and well-known to me; 

it's almost an allegory of what all of us must do at some point in our lives. I am reminded of this quote from Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring each time I look down my street: "it's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step out onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to."
