Your Path

Sometimes our paths seem clear and concise.
Other times, we wonder if there really even is a path at all.
We struggle through the underbrush,
climb atop the boulders,
slither around debris,
and finally fall, exhausted,
on the nearest clump of earth to rest.
It is at this time,
that our path is defined by much more
than a simple direction.
We endure so very much
to offer ourselves to others.
We struggle in order to realize the strength
to help another human.
We slither and climb
so that we might gain tenacity and perseverance.
And, when we have rested for a brief moment,
on our little clump of earth,
we see again, a sliver of a tattered route
on which we continue our journey.
Stronger.
Braver.
Steadfast.

Follow Your Path.
