The road to El-Dorado!

Posted by Calvy/Abhi (Despo Ville, India) on 19 May 2009 in Transportation.

The fallen rhododendron...intermittent cuckoo chants
the wind driven twigs and moistened leaves
The scintillating Sun caressing the divine passage
with none but my dog beside me
...the nomad sets his compass and timepiece
bother me not because...I'm on the road,the road to El Dorado!

I also blog at Dog with the Blog

"..these snapshots are their little stands against the flow of time.
The shutter is clicked, the flash goes off, and they've stopped time,
if just for the blink of an eye."

vinita upreti from India

They say the journey is more meaningful than the destination.
and then the destination is the beginning of yet another journey,
The search of beauty the search of divinity,
from here and now to seemingly infinity.
