Widdershins

Today I walked the lake the wrong way round and seeing such, the world seemed upside down. What once was on the left was on the right and shadows fell where once there was sunlight. Agape, aghast and tipsy, I did toddle all befuddled, as I dawdled, round the puddle. Seeing sights I never thought I’d see, meeting folks who walked a ways with me. What a miracle, what sheer delight to find some changes bring happiness not fright. To find so much of what we see is mere impression of how we walk, with whom and our discretion. But, Widdershins* is the way I walk round seems my right side up’s your upside down! *To move 'widdershins' is to go anti-clockwise, or against the sun.
