The Path

Leave a comment

The path to the final destination

is a meandering one with many steps.

There are no short cuts and help

comes from unexpected sources.

 

Sturdy roots help along the way and

a strong sense of right and wrong

helps you through the impediments

that block your way and to ignore the

easy short cuts promoted by the ego

and shunned by the Self.

 

The further you go on the journey,

the clearer and richer your perspective

as you approach the last step.
