Here I am, stinking my toe into the Stream of Consciousness Saturday.
My first thought upon hearing the word "shortcut" is skimping; not doing something the way it should be done. Taking chances that risk loss or harm. Why does my mind go there first? Likely because I have lived in a blue collar world were these type of short cuts cause harm most often.
As to the "short cut" that gets a person from one point to another in less time, those can be quite handy. I have a few I take from time to time when out driving, but what excites me the most is not a shortcut, but a back road.
One can slow down on a back road. Take in scenery, find the quaint, the unusual. Mom and Pop instead of chains. There is no extra signage on a back road to block the view. There is a feeling of adventure and discovery on these blacktop or dirt ribbons. A calm settling rather than a hurried frenzy.
Go ahead and take your short cut, and I'll take the back road. You'll be there before me, but I'll arrive more satisfied.

You take the shortcut and I'll take the back road and I'll be in Scotland afore ye...
ReplyDeleteSometimes there are advantages to taking the long way.
Bravo, John! That song is exactly what I head in my head at the time.
DeleteWhen exploring a new country, I'll take the back road and see some cool stuff.
ReplyDeleteDriving here at home? Just get me there and fast!
Something like to work and back, it usually makes sense to take the most direct route. But I enjoy taking alternate routes even in my hometown, as you never know what may of changed.
DeleteI love taking back roads, last evening we chose back roads instead of taking the interstate which would have been faster and shorter, but we would have missed out on a lovely (think Currier & Ives) little town.
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
Oh, that sounds delightful!
DeleteI'll take a short cut to get me out of a store quicker, but not on the road; I do enjoy those back roads and the adventures that lie within them.

DeleteI'll take the long detours any day over shortcuts. More time to look closer and appreciate the colours! :)
