The Road

Just read The Road by Cormac McCarthy followed by John Christopher's 1965 classic A wrinkle in the skin. Very similar. Preferred the latter.

#Couchto5K update. Week 7. RUN 1. 28 minutes. I am the god of the road.

I found myself doing a search for Leonard Cohen's poem 'The road to Larissa' this morning and learned something new – somehow I'd never connected it to Plato in the Meno discussing the nature of knowledge.

I like the way bus drivers sometimes wave to each other as they pass on the road in a we're-all-this-in-this-together kind of a way.

I was lost
when I met you on the road
to Larissa
the straight road between the cedars

You thought
I was a man of roads
and you loved me for being such a man
I was not such a man

I was lost
when I met you on the road
to Larissa
