What Still Lies Ahead /  by Todd Henson

What Still Lies Ahead

Some scenes may lead one to stop and ponder, perhaps to contemplate one’s life, where you’ve been and what still lies ahead. But with life it’s always a little too far to see, either fading into the distance or hidden beyond a turn not yet taken. And perhaps that’s for the best, that we can’t know the future with certainty until it’s become the past. Embrace the unknown. Live with a sense of wonder and anticipation, with the hope and possibility that some of the best of our life may still lie ahead.

The Beauty of a Gravel Road /  by Todd Henson

Following a gravel road

There can be a real beauty to following a gravel road over hills and through the trees with sunlight filtering through in patches of light separated by darker stripes along the length of the road. The trees and hills sometimes obscure what lies just ahead, creating that wonderful sense of mystery that pulls on one’s soul to keep driving or walking, keep moving forward, just to see what lies over the next hill or around the next turn. We become modern-day explorers discovering a new land.

The Fog in My Head Every Morning /  by Todd Henson

In response to some of the recent foggy photos I’ve posted a friend asked me if I could photograph the fog in their head every morning. That resulted in what follows.

The Fog in My Head Every Morning

I awake and all around me the world is hidden in fog. I can almost make out little details close in but they quickly disappear into the white mist.

Walking Over Rocks Into a Foggy Unknown

I blink my eyes trying to bring life into focus. All I see up close is a small field of rocks blocking the way forward. Then water and ice. Then nothing.

Shaking My Head

I close my eyes and shake my head to clear the haze. But when I look out at the world again it’s all a blur. Even so, I take a step forward.
