The road to nowhere, as its name suggests, leads to precisely nowhere. Though of course by its very definition, a road must lead somewhere, as it is a road. It's been marked out purposefully on a terrain that until the presence of said road did not 'lead' at all. The road is the very embodiment of leading and by following it, you are being lead somewhere, even if that somewhere, is nowhere.
Oh dear, I appear to have opened today's post with a mind-melting paradox that I will never fully understand. Trying to unravel it would be like driving down a road to nowhere and continuously asking "are we there yet?"
Oh no! I've done it again!
Thank goodness this isn't a hangover morning.
Perhaps then, it would be more appropriate to think the road to nowhere as 'the road to nowhere significant', unless of course you are a lizard or some sort of scavenger, in which case you will most likely find the road to nowhere quite appealing if it's anything like the one portrayed on today's donated T-shirt from Dirty Velvet.
This black and white desert scene spans the full canvas of Day 207's T-shirt which was donated to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge by Dirty Velvet member Mark. As with all Dirty Velvet stock, this garment was printed on organic cotton, ships with free delivery and carries a design that's as playful as it is ruthless.
Whatever the outcome of this metaphorical/philosophical/geographical quandary, I'm sure we can all agree that whether intentional or not, the design on the swing tag affixed to the label of this tee marrying up perfectly with the mountain scape in the print is a thing of beauty.
