A Place

I was ready to log off when I realized I hadn't taken a pic yet. I had no idea what I was going to do, so I went exploring. I found...nothing. Nothing new anyway. I was ready to give up when I did a bit of profile perving and found this place in someone's picks. It's called Woods of Whimsy. This is how it is described when you add it to picks.

A Tolkien-inspired park curently featuring an educational recreation of
Stonehenge circa 1500 BCE. While you're here, take a walk through the
woods and discover a fantastical world of beauty.

I would have to agree.

I needed a place to just be for a while and look back a little bit, look at today, and wonder about tomorrow. That reminded me of this poem. The author is Unknown.

There are two days in every week

that we should not worry about

two days that should be kept free

from fear and apprehension

One is yesterday

with its mistakes and cares,

its faults and blunders

its aches and pains

Yesterday is past forever

beyond our control

all the money in the world

cannot bring back yesterday.

we cannot undo a certain act

or take back a word we've said-

Yesterday is gone!

The other day we shouldn't

worry about is tomorrow-

with its impossible adversaries,

its burdens, its hopeful promises,

and poor performance.

Tomorrow's sun

will either rise in splendor

or behind a mask of clouds,

but it will rise

and until it does,

we have no stake in tomorrow,

for it is yet unknown.

This leaves only one day-

Today

Any person can fight the battle

for just one day

it is only when we add

the burdens of yesterday

and tomorrow that we break down

the sadness comes not from

the experience of today

but the remorse of bitterness

for something which happened

yesterday

and the dread of what

tomorrow may bring.
