ALL PATHS LEAD TO EVERYWHERE

Walking through the meadow gingerly making my way
between a menacing stand of poison oak on one side
and the thick tangle of blackberry vines on the other
I wondered if the trail was used mostly by farm animals
and then I knew it didn’t matter who or what had worn
down the grass to make a clear way from here to there.
All paths lead to everywhere if one is willing to go back
when necessary to connect or reconnect to other roads.
