read the signs

riding along in my automobile

I am cruising down the highway, windows rolled down, roof down, radio blaring with the sun shining in.  Suddenly, the traffic begins to slow ~ then I see the orange signs. Construction ahead. Right lane closed - merge left.  Great. Just when things were going smooth.  The ride becomes bumpy as I ride over the unev
As I bump and inch along and see the ramp for the next exit. That's the sign I was looking for. EXIT on left. Getting off this road so that I can cruise again. So the car can do what it was meant to do - DRIVE. Straight ahead. No stopping. Leaving the parking lot of the highway, I careen off the exit ramp and yield to oncoming traffic and again on my way. Hopefully no bumps will stop me now.  en pavement. Hopefully the bumps in the road will be temporary - this is not good for the chassis. 

I am happy to be moving again. Cranking up the tunes on the radio and singing along.  Enjoying the drive. Thinking. Watching the roadway. I notice a few miles up the cars slowing down. Oh no. not again. what is with it with the road construction around here? Why do they have to fix every road I travel at the same time? I mean really.  Then I see the sign. DETOUR AHEAD. MUST EXIT HERE. Guess. what. the exit spits me out on the exact road that I just got off and its still congested.  So. make the mass exodus, bump along for a mile or so and just take the first exit ramp on the right.  

I need a new path.  New roads to conquer.

the missing piece

picking up the pieces
lining them up..

looking for matches
the frame is complete
filling in the middle
turning them around
snapping them into place

there is a hole in the middle.

what became of me?
