Untrodden #writephoto

A world of white, featureless under new-fallen snow. Untrodden.

I look back.

My tracks stretch behind me.  The nearest are crisp and clear, cut as if with a knife, but they become indistinct as they disappear into the distance.  I know the path back.  Or at least I think I do.

But it is the way forward, through that untrodden snow, that is full of intrigue.

It looks so simple from here, but I know once I start ahead it will change in ways I can’t currently comprehend.

What views will open up, a reward for my patience?  What holes are hidden by the deceptively beautiful snow?  Where does the path end?

I see many ways in my mind, but I know that the real path will be beyond my imagination.

I march forward.

Across the untrodden snow into the blankness ahead.

This was a new post written for an old #writephoto challenge by Sue Vincent. Her original challenge was on November 29, 2018. My original post was a chapter in my “Of Wind and Wings” serial story. This bit of silly philosophy is my current response to the photo by Sue at the top.

      We had some icy snow here, not good for dog play, but it has been frigid since then. I hope Ani gets her snow to play in! (Fiyero and Idina have been remiss in writing to Ani! I hope to persuade them to put paw to paper some time soon…)
