Making Roads
Moses Cone, a textile magnate, had a hobby of making roads. Last weekend we enjoyed a walk on a beautiful road he made around a lake, down in a valley below his mountain top home. Horses used the path with us, and they say he made it for horse drawn carriages, "back in the day." As soon as we started out walking I felt such a peacefulness. No one around me was hurrying; all were enjoying the quiet beauty of the surroundings. It was a walk I won't forget and hopefully will do again.

It's nice to leave the cars and noise behind and go where the only sound is voices and footfall. That's peace.

Interstates are handy but the narrow, tree lined lanes are the best-for driving and, at times, walking. Faced with no time constraints, I so much prefer the "blue" highways.
ReplyDeleteBest,

It looks so serene. And it would be even more delightful with the clop-clop of horse hooves.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to stroll. I can't imagine running and sweating in such a peaceful place -- but a slow walk, ennjoying the nature and wildlife? Oh yes.
