True. Crossroads, in both literal and figurative sense, bring questions in life.

I got lost in the thought of the poem, that I didn’t notice is was a tanka. Liz’s eagle eye did. You’re welcome, Dwight.

Yes, crossroads do bring questions. We’ve been at many in our lifetimes, haven’t we” Do you look back and wonder what would have happened if you’d gone left instead of right?

They do! Important questions!
Just to grateful to live where we can ask questions, have choices, and make choices. 🙂
And when we come upon the “detours”, “long waits”, etc., in life…it is often in those times we learn the most and we grow! 🙂
Great poem and photo, Dwight! 😉
HUGS!!!
