Begin One Way, End One Way

Some struck me about these two signs along a short section of a one-way road at Colton Point State Park. They seemed to mean so much more then just their simple meaning for traffic, but something about life we all live.

Begin One Way

We all begin one way, set off to find our way through the wilderness of life, with little more then a rough sketch where want to end up.

Towpath

We wander through the wilderness, seeking that destination that we know want to reach, but even when the road is straight and narrow, it’s not always apparent on where will eventually end up.

Binoculars

We sometimes stop to check our way. We get out our binoculars and try to look to see if our destination is in site. It’s not always clear.

We glance off into wilderness the vista.

Walking Along Cedar River Road

As we kick some dirt up along the road.

Dead End: Last Turn Around

Trying to avoid the dead ends that seem to come upon as every few minutes.

Bench

We stop for a minute on a park bench.

River Flows

And peer down into the canyon as a changed indivdual.

And End One Way

And eventually we end one way. Was it the same way we started? No! I really doubt that. We have changed. We may have ended one way, but we ended a different way then we started.
