the road
… can be deceiving. As I look back on my life, the smooth road was rarely the chosen one – more often than not I’d find myself bouncing wildly around, hitting my head on the roof of the truck as I maneuvered my way down an overgrown path. As the high weeds tug at the undercarriage and brush against the side of the door, I’d lean forward, peering over the dashboard, as if in a torrential rainfall, working valiantly to keep my tires on the half hidden trail. 

                                                                                                 

And that’s where God would find me, laughing through his light at yet another bruise to my pride. Shaking his head at my intense determination - a parent hiding a smile from his willful child.  Gently reminding me to stop, close my eyes, and just breathe. 

This was taken on the Remus property in Curtis Nebraska.
