Every once in a while you end up taking a wrong turn that has you in unfamiliar terrain; sometimes both literally and figuratively. Yesterday was one of those days for me, and it was another beautiful reminder of how easily every "mistake" can be taken as opportunity to experience new beauty. Commuting with haste to meet with a friend for some bike work had me taking a corner that I though might speed up my ride. Little did I know that not only would it slow me down tremendously, but moreover that I would discover a completely new and beautiful ditch trail that intersects what I once thought was an impassible section of town. Beautiful Fields and vineyards were presented to me with an unforgettable sky. Incredible smells, friendly ducks and dense overgrowth had me feeling like I was in another part of the country altogether. Its amazing what you can find when you least expect it and are willing to embrace the accidental change of pace and familiarity. Some of the most rewarding experiences are those unexpected and foreign. To miss these subtle moments is to miss the subtly that is life!
