I used to walk this path.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

This is a place called Percy Warner Park, on the outskirts of Nashville. It's a popular place for people to go to when they want to relax for a while. I used to live a couple miles from it, and I enjoyed taking advantage of its wonders on quiet Sunday mornings.

Although it's a road, cars have been banned from it for a few years now- only foot traffic is allowed now. There are unpaved footpaths up in the trees to the right, and to the left is a lake of pure blue.

I miss it. There simply isn't anything remotely like it in Dallas. When I found this picture online just now I suddenly got very lonely for a life that lasted twenty years, and came to an end against my will. It was a good life, and I didn't want to leave it, but in the end I had no choice. Nor do any of us, in the end.

Walk the path with me for a while, and enjoy the cool autumn morning as I used to.

Tonight it's my turn.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. ummm --- okay

Is there an official list? Need to know, as I seldom leave melancholy. It is my one of my favorite places.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

4. The waiting list is thousands of years long.

However, anyone is free to cut to the head of the line at any time.

Melancholy is very polite when it comes to immediate need.

7. I've lived a lot of places in my lifetime

Nashville is the place that always felt the most like "home" to me, even though it's not where I was born and raised.

Odd, that. :shrug:

8. Absolutely uncanny.

With a few chestnuts strewn around, this could absolutely be the road (also now closed to traffic) down mountain from our house.

I'll try to get a photo of our road this weekend, so you can see. Unbelievably similar. :hi:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

9. There are no coincidences.

I suspect a plot.

:evilgrin:

[Heidi]

10. It's probably just that window in space and time

where Ticino, Switzerland meets Nashville, Tenn. :rofl:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

11. I thought they'd nailed that window shut.

Guess not. :shrug:

[Heidi]

12. Hahahahahahahaha!

It probably was pried open by a cat. They're mischievous like that, ya know. :P

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

14. Possibly by The Nashville Cat?

As I said, no coincidences....

[Heidi]

15. Or The Ticino Cat!

Battling the Orange Silk String of Doom since 2001! :rofl:

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

17. Now that's an insane cat if ever I've seen one.

Either that or those eyes have been Photoshopped... :rofl:

[Heidi]

18. No Photoshop involoved.

The Orange Silk String of Doom brings out the freak in Ginger. :rofl:

[Inchworm]

13. Screw that!

I'll make my own path. I'll make a path where people hoot and holler. No CLOTHES allowed on my path! Come, come one come all!

Closed during the winter nights, other than that.. wooty hoo!!...

:hi:

[Heidi]
