A wander in to the skyless woods

A wander in to the skyless woods
And over the soft,crumbling foliage
Leaves so dry, withered and weathered
Some new as the disappearing morning dew
Others older than man's first blues

The path untrodden, the trail unfound
I strum on the road unsound
Some steps deep, giving way beneath
Others shallow like a metal sheath

An eye falls on the glazened side walk
A true desert oasis or a mirage?

An interesting article on The Simpsons' philosophy. And mind you, it's not only 'The Simpsons' where philosophy is present. It's just hard to see it when it's in front of you, like many other things. It's easy to clear your eyes and miss and even easier to cloud your mind and see, but it's only what you want to see.

Schlaleluja!!

As I boarded the plane back to the U.S., "Schlaleluja!!", read one of the German tabloids on the finals win of FC Bayern Munchen, the football club of the city where I spent my first and the last day of this very short Eurotrip.

There are a few adjectives I can use for this excursion through beer drinking Bavaria and upto the rejunevated, renovated Berlin and the non-chalantly free Nederlands with going through the backyards and openwaters of country Deutschland. But I'll summarize it into one word - reminiscent.

And as it often happens, when you've got fleeting glimpses or shortened stays, you tend to come back with missing out on some, thinking how it would have been if you had done this or gone there. And while you've gone where you wanted, came back where you started and gained in the process, but what you think you might have missed was something you never really knew anyways.
