Trail Head

A trail has a mind, it has the mind of those who created it… near civilization a trail will make very thoughtful turns, having a purpose, a feel, a sense that its heading somewhere specific. But when a trail gets out, far away… it takes on a new mind… one that meanders, explores, twists and turns in nonsense ways or to far off landmarks or waterfalls. There is a definite cognition to both- almost speaking in your ear as you run, sometimes merciless, often wondrous. -- JMS
