Country Roads

When I think of country roads, I think of simpler times. Roads that took me to places that I would love to visit again. Roads that led me to people I loved. There have always been country roads in my life. There still are. I find this comforting.

Since I have started this blog I have lost three friends to death. Just like country roads we started out knowing each other in simpler times. I would love to be able to go to familiar places with them. I would love to see them again on this side of life. I miss them and wish I had been given the chance to tell them goodbye. I love them. Some things stay the same. They are "home" and I find this comforting.

I am beginning to think that "country roads" are not just things we travel on but also a "state of mind."

I think of the John Denver song, "Country roads take me home...to the place I belong."
