Traveling to Memoriam

 

When humankind creates ventures onto roads less traveled,

Achievement needs not an audience.

Friends may come uneasily, for social acumen is not the priority.

Love seeks not tinsel and trim, but rather sincerity and respect.

Success comes equated not by numbers, but quality and integrity.

Failure is embraced as a tough lesson to be mastered for next time.

 

Finding those tracks, paths and roads less traveled

Make memoriam time worth remembering,

Even for those yet to travel such journeys.

A fine thought that reflects my own thinking. I have always travelled the less travelled road, living abroad most of my life. Now retired in the States seems to be a less travelled road as well, never having lived here before. Still, I am planning my next trip, life itself into my retirement years, another "never before" travelled road now laid out before me. Love the pic by the way. So appropriate.
