এই পুরাণপথ পূর্বপুরুষগণের, মুক্তিযোদ্ধাদের!
রেখে হাতে-হাত, বীরের বেশে হাটতো তারা দিন-রাত!
কন্ঠে ছিল মুক্তির গান, দিয়ে ছিল রক্ত আর প্রাণ!

I took the shortcut through the woods today.
It was cold and there was a layer of ice underneath every inch of snow. I had my cleat-soled overboots on, knowing that the way would be slippery. I went out walking because I could and it's been too dang long since I took a walk outdoors. This winter has been a doozy.
Last night, I noted that the weather forecast for the rest of the week would not be good for a trek outdoors. Today, it may have been in the single digits for temperature, but there was no wind. That's a first for quite a while. The winds have been terrible this season. So, I figured I could handle the cold, and I did. I still haven't found a good pair of gloves that keep my hands warm.
Taking this short cut has me on a very narrow path that borders a drainage ditch. If I fell, it would be about a four foot drop. With my ice-cleats on, and my trekking poles in hand, I felt confident that I could traverse without a fall. Seeing all the boot-prints of those who passed before me also was a good sign. I made it, and was soon back in my warm car.
It was a good day for a walk.
It sure looks cold with the storm clouds above,
And the path is slippery, do not push and shove.
But this was a warm summer Cronulla morning,
And the path was slippery, you could fall without warning!
