Gloriously Lost (A Fable)
Deep in the woods you wandered,
beyond the paths,
beyond the light,
to an ivy-covered land
with no direction
for the compass to follow.
“Ah ha!” you said, with glee.
This is the perfect place
to start”
About this poem
Inspired by one of my favorite J. R. R. Tolkien quotes -“Not all who wander are lost.”, and a magnet on my icebox – “Begin Anywhere”, and this picture.

Love this, Tom!
Been busy forwarding this to others….I think this is one of your best and really “speaks” to me. The words “what a great place to start” are powerful…but then you probably knew that. T.
Oops – I misquoted…
“This is the perfect place to start”
