A Perfect Balancing Act for Now

Spring Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Nature Art”

Not only are cairns built to mark the trails, according to Merriam Webster dictionary that defines them: “a heap of stones piled up as a memorial or as a landmark,” but they are also such a perfect balancing act between the wind, rain, and other natural elements.

With the impermanent nature of the cairn that can easily be blown down like the straw house in Three Little Pigs, we still had to rely on the good old map and directions to make it to the end of our hike.

Luckily, my husband has the best sense of the direction of anyone I have ever met, which means that we view cairns less of a guiding tool and more of a balancing act of life’s ups and downs.

Thank you for the great May writing prompt!
