Roadtrip

Life is a roadtrip,
With many places to visit,
And many ways to get there.
Beautiful stretches
Boring stretches
Breakdowns
Crossroads
Decisions to make
Dead ends
Nasty bumpy logging roads
Smooth new blacktop
White-knuckle chain-smoking rush-hour traffic
Lazy times with the road all to yourself
Blazing your own trail
Following well-known routes
Signs flashing by half-glimpsed
Slow down
Speed up
Missed exits
Cunfused directions
Meeting stangers becoming friends
Visiting friends no longer strangers
New lands to see and make yours.

Life is a roadtrip.
Make it wonderful.
Explore.
