Winding Roads and Highways

I often sit and wish that life was just an open road, not a highway, but one of those slow, winding roads that head to the middle of nowhere. You see, a highway, would be too noisy and there would be to many people heading in the same direction, or in the opposite direction. Highways are just straight roads with relatively few turns and it seems as if no one acknowledges anything while they’re on the highway except time.

I feel that winding roads are more timeless, especially if you are driving up and or down a mountain. You can never be sure what’s around the next curve and more often than not, it is a view that exceeds the one you left behind.

What I’m getting at is that we all need to take that little break once in a while, where we take the longer route. We should not think about the fact that the highway will get us there faster, but we should rather focus on the fact that we are getting there at all and the winding road is a far more pleasant way to get there.

That's all, bye! :)
