This is the Path
THIS IS THE PATH
This is the path.
The one you’re on.
The way will be straight and level,
winding and steep.
There will be mountaintop experiences,
and valleys of the unknown;
stars of light,
and caves of darkness.
You will wander
and wonder,
“Is this the right way?”
This is the path.
The one you’re on.
There will be days of peaceful rest,
when you allow yourself to be still.
And others, when you cannot travel fast enough to
leave the present and get to a new destination–
if only to discover that you must
pack up your courage and journey further.
This is the path.
The one you’re on.
There will be nights of fear,
when you wrestle without sleep for want of answers.
You will cry out,
“Send me a light in this wilderness, Oh God–
some kind of sign that this is
the right way!”
Perhaps you will receive it . . .
or perhaps not.
Either way,
This is the path.
The one you’re on.
Some days your feet will be sure of your direction.
And others?
They will stumble and trip upon the smallest rocks of doubt.
Still . . .
you walk,
staying the mysterious and divine course that life has offered.
Then one day . . .
when you release the need
to know the outcome–
when you expect no answers at all–
You will realize,
without a doubt . . .
This is the path.
The one you’re on.
This . . .
Is . . .
The . . .
Path.
