The Path

October 2008
Sometimes, life can be a big maze. You seem to be going around in circles and you do not really know where you are going. You can only see the road ahead and when you come to a crossroad, you see two turns. Knowing that each turn could lead to a different path, you hesitate and ponder which path to take. Finally a bold step forward to the left turn, you found after walking a few steps that the right turn would have been a much better choice. You try to walk back and retrace your steps, only to find that you no longer know where that right turn is. You try to walk back down that left turn again but every turn now looks the same to you. Once again, you are at that crossroad and you need to choose which way to turn.
Walk on ahead because every step brings you closer to your destination. Sometimes, it is not for you to know where you are going. You are just called to go. If you ever meet a dead end, just retrace your steps and find a new way out. You could be going down the same path again yet this makes you more aware of which path to take. To know the paths to take and the paths not to take sometimes requires you to walk down the same path a few times. And after a while, you just know which way to finally go.
