A recent walk along a newly opened nature trail reminded me of one
of my favorite songs. I left the desert landscape of urban
conformity and cactus mailboxes for a quiet respite under stippled
sunlight. Follow the path to your destination. Come back the way
you went or continue on your journey and explore what lies ahead.
It is for your steps alone.
Ripple
Lyrics by Robert Hunter
Music by Jerry Garcia
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken.
Perhaps they’re better left unsung.
I don’t know. Don’t really care.
Let there be songs to fill the air.
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow.
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty.
If your cup is full, may it be again.
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man.
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone.
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow.
You who choose to lead must follow.
But if you fall you fall alone.
If you should stand, then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home.
