Travelling Down A No Return Road

October 6, 2017

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

First of  Winter Road ~ photo by Patrice

Travelling down a no return road
Going forward pass signs
On this winding, bending road
That tell me what’s ahead
Sometimes full of anticipation
Sometimes only dread.

Going forward
Not looking back
Not using a rearview mirror
To see behind
There’s no use in using that.

On the side of this my road
I’m passing beauty there
Just up to me to behold.

My salvation
May be at the end
Of this my own long road
But the journey to that place
Is up to me to unfold.

You Are On My Journey

Patrice's Watercolour Portrait Art

You are on my journey
I’m on your path
The way, it wanders but I can see
There is no more wrath.

Quiet acceptance
Honouring you, honouring me
Moving on into each our destinys.

I am on your path
You are on my road
We pass by smiling full with love
Wondering what life does hold.

Bide your time
I’ll let it be
A wondrous world spreading out
In front of thee.

Running With Automatic Worldwide WP 5k

October 27, 2015

I have joined the Automatic Worldwide WP 5k and am going to commit to a 5k run each day from yesterday, Oct. 26th to Sunday, Nov. 1. It’s not that I’m an overachiever or anything, it’s just that on Nov. 4th, I’m having a cataract operation and have been told – No Exercise! – So, I’ll do as much as I can, while I can 😀

See you on the road, treadmill, pathways, anywhere there’s a 5k run in it! 



Day 1

The first of the 5k Runs for the next week was done in the afternoon on a beautifully wooded, winding, moderately flat road. Along with my trusty running partner, Mr. Thor who’s stoked to be doing it too!!! And I should add, charted on RunKeeper.com

Day 2 

My Second Day of the ‘Running with Automatic Worldwide WP 5k
was done on a treadmill
😦
It was late in the afternoon and didn’t have the light or time to go on the roads.

5k WP - Day 2 start

My trusty ‘Running Partner’ was there at my side once again.

The view was stationary but still lovely.

BUT!!!

I did have to pause to take a picture as my running on the treadmill gave a very distorted picture…

Then we were finished for that day!

WP - 5k - Day 2 - Final reading

And the reading said it all.

5k or 3.10 miles done.

Completed.

Tomorrow is another day.

Another run.



Day 3

One more day, one more run on the treadmill.
Not my favourite, but just not nice out there. Tons of cold and wind, so the treadmill it is.
And the view isn’t that bad.

My dear, sweet running partner is out here with me!

Til tomorrow.

Day 4

Sadly, Day 4 is ANOTHER treadmill day
😦
It was dark outside and miserable.
So, treadmill it is
again.

WP - 5k - Day 4 - treadmill reading

No pictures of the view because it would just be black night.

Gratefully

My running partner was beside me all the way

🙂

Last day used Nov. 4/15

See you tomorrow – hopefully out on the road

🙂



Day 5

I Climbed To The Top Of The Sky

WP5k - Day5 -Looking Back Down

I climbed to the top of the sky
Came back down
Don’t know why.

Maybe to climb again
Share the time
Feel the view
See the height
The deep dark blue.

I climbed to the top of the sky
Looked around
Then
Came back down.

Looking Back Down

August 28, 2011

Stormy Road ~ Photo by Patrice

Looking back down
The road I’ve been
Always knowing I could
Be there in a second
That place I’ve been.

So sad to know
So sad to be
Looking back down
The road I’ve been.

Don’t look back
Turn around and see
A new road
Opening up for me.

Full of promise
Full of majesty
Heartbreak gone
Back down the road
I’ve been.
~ Patrice
