let it drift

and yet it was another photo that reminded me of these lines :-)

wandering lines, yes. so i wonder all the more why "wandern" was translated by "drift" and not "wander"? (wow so many w's)

i think maybe drift captures more the intention- and aimless movement...it's maybe more gentle also than actual wander

@ antonia: you're right, drift is more, well, drifting . leaves would be drifting, & not wandering

@ roxana: :-) thanks!
