Sometime straying away from the original path may ends up into exploring new avenues. Yesterday, on my returning back to the town from my village, it happened that I missed a turning point and ended up into exploring some natural scenic beauty on the way.
This route that i fallen into is more lengthy and time consuming, I never followed this path before. While driving back to the town, a sudden downpour led me to miss the turning poing. It was a blind turn, but the rain covered it from my view, it was only after travelling further, I realized I strayed from the actual path. Although, this new path will take me to my destination too, but again it passes through a colliery area, and uneven roads. If wanted, I could have taken a U-turn, but then I wonder why not to explore the new avenues and what all things the new path has in for me. I drive some patchy uneven roads but in between the new path shows me the beauty of nature - and big river flowing under a blue clear sky.
The sight was very mesmerizing. Green spaces and water contribute to feelings of well-being and happiness. I was getting tired due to the long drive, but the sight of this big river give me a calm effect. Many people like me are drawn to flowing rivers in green spaces because these environments provide a sense of calm and happiness, offering aesthetic beauty, a connection to nature's rhythm and life, and a place for relaxation and rejuvenation. I stopped my ride for a while to relax on the bridge and take some pictures.
The river has a vast open spaces all around the places. There were greenary on both sides allowing a calming effect. While the sound of flowing water is doing its trick in reducing my stress. Nature was its best at that particular place. For a moment, I left my worry of staying away from my path. Rather I started enjoying the natural view in front of my eyes.
There were few boys bathing onnthe side of river. Just below the bridge. The passing big trucks over the bridge was making it shake, so unable to go near to the 3dge of the river. But for a moment, I also wanted to take a dip on this river. Due to rain and then bright sun made it very humid. But I have reach my destination and I am already behind my schedule time. So I preferred drive ahead.
But the straying incident does taught me a lesson. People often afraid of losing their motive in life. They keep on chasing same path in life, but you never know there might be some more beauty waiting to explore. Straying away can be beneficial for self-discovery, providing mental clarity and a fresh perspective for problem-solving, boosting creativity, and offering a path to break free from negative cycles and take control of one's future. It is an important lesson that people take ages to understand.
At the end of day, it took me long to reach my destination but i explored this natural beauty by crossing through many ups and down on the path and enjoyed the beauty that came across.
In good faith - Peace!!
