The Path 2: Paths. There are many paths in life we take or make and not all of them have the clarity that we often seek or need. Some of us use a map whilst others prefer to find their own route and are quite happy to see where the journey might lead them to.
***
Like in running when we are told to focus on a singular point on the horizon we find it works as it keeps our focus on where we need to go. Unfortunately, being so focused on the horizon means we fail to see the beauty of the peaks of the mount that might rise above us. Focusing on the goal in hand can often blinker us from the joy of the present moment.
***
Paths come in many shapes and sizes.
***
Whilst some can run smooth and easy to navigate others can be rough, awkward and seemingly unmanageable. Paths are often rarely perfectly flat for we can experience a wide range of factors some of which can become barriers along the way as in life such as struggles and grief whilst others can bring us joys and triumphs.
***
Paths can often present us with choices that we have to deal with internally and externally. Who has not had to switch careers, ended relationships or move home due to both internal and external pressures beyond our control.
***
Sometimes we have sign posts to help, sometimes not.
***
These factors can lead us to possibly take the wrong turn in life certainly but can also help us overcome setbacks and mistakes as we navigate the daily pressures of life. Of course, we may at times find ourselves walking a path alone whilst at other times we share the journey with close friends and loved ones who can offer help along the way as we too can offer help to them in return.
***
Just because a loved one passes away it doesn’t mean life’s path is ended or closed to oneself it merely defines a crossroad in which we have to navigate at times alone and at other times collectively as a group on our onwards journey called life.
***
Have you ever noticed when walking somewhere you might notice a well-worn path has been made by others who would rather cross the grass than stay on the path ahead. Yes they may be on a similar journey but have taken a more direct route to seemingly get to the same destination.
***
Do you stay on the path ahead or are you tempted to see where the shortcut takes you? Neither path is wrong for both can open up beautiful horizons as long as we are willing to notice the beautiful mountain peaks above us too.
