Around the Bend

(Around the Bend, from my Grand Bending Series of photos 2004)

Everything really can turn on a dime. Laughter and lightness becomes anger and storm on the turn of a word, a look, a misstep. 

What is around that bend? More path? A bear? A cliff? My heart's desire? 

The only sure thing is that something is there, and I can't see it from here.
