"Even in a country you know by heart
it's hard to go the same way twice.
The life of the going changes
The chances change and make a new way.
Any tree or stone or bird
can be the bud of a new way.
Any tree or stone or bird
can be the bud of a new direction. The
natural correction is to make intent
of accident. To get back before dark
is the art of going." -Wendell Berry, Traveling at Home
