off the beaten path
I found
a Buddhist temple
in my stomping grounds
a choice for straight
over turning left
led me to asphalt lot
activity bereft
parked
I left
Henny alone
and took
some photos
with my phone
who knows
what you might find today
if off
the beaten path
you stray
Oh, the magic dragon once again!
A former, and famous, catcher for the New York Yankees said, "When you come to the fork in the road, take it!" Did inspiration from the universe cause you to go straight rather than taking the left turn? Were you aware of its presence before this adventure? A local Buddhist temple here holds a formal Saturday gathering, but I have a hunch your early-to-rise nature may have missed theirs.
Beautiful details. Wondrously blue skies! Henny shivering in the vehicle... Winter.
