Life has been very hectic and it’s been a while since I participated in Cee’s photo challenges. I have been keeping track but then I kept getting sidetracked. This time, even though I am late, I simply had to break the jinx. Here I am with a few BW photographs of paths and trails. It has also been ages since I did quotes – hope you like 🙂
“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.” Martin Buber
“The best journey of life that you can take is inside yourself to discover your new thoughts, new ideas, and new hopes.” Debashish Mridha
“Having had enough of the lure of straight paths, this I have begun this journey with the determination to lose my way.” I dared to translate the first two lines of one of Guru Rabindranath Tagore’s songs – poth harabo bolei ebar pothe nemechi…
“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal” – Henry Ford
“Always listen to experts. They’ll tell you what can’t be done, and why. Then do it.” ― Robert A. Heinlein,
“We are kept from our goal, not by obstacles, but by a clear path to a lesser goal.” Bhagwad Gita
“If you are facing in the right direction, all you need to do is keep on walking” – Buddhist saying.

Love the quotes with your wonderful B/W photos. Those gnarly, tree roots bordering a pathway is quite impressive. Very unique, Dahlia. ❤

Thank you Olga! The gnarly tree roots are ‘made’ by Nek Chand who saw beauty and art in junk. He built the famous Rock Garden in Chandigarh, India out of trash. If you like you can read and see more about his unique creativity here – https://mysilverstreaks.com/2016/10/30/junk-art/

Great pictures. We make tracks/trails in jungles which in time become paths and then inevitably roads. Thank you for the collection.

Especially the word “dared.” You are bold, Dahlia!

I am so glad you mentioned that Theresa! I knew the quote I wanted but when I looked for translations they didnt quite reflect the emotions the poem evokes in me. After a bit of dithering I convinced myself I could have my own translation! I have come a long way on straight paths and it is time to stray a bit 😀 Cheers!
