The Path

This is an idea and post that I’m going to be revising over time. I love the concept and it makes sense in my head, but I’m struggling to put it into words as easy as it flows in my head. Figured I’d put it out there and edit over time.

The path of life is a journey. 

It’s a destination we are all on. 

Some paths are more strenuous to travel. 

A path worth taking is one where the journey involves more than you. 

It involves a crew. 

Some may not end at your destination, some may be picked up on the way. 

The intersection of paths will lead to intersections of friendship, hatred, emotion. 

Everyone serving a purpose on your specific route. 

Forests, trees, mountains. There to climb and overcome. 

Giving us purpose. 

Fighting to reach our destination, but not forgetting to enjoy the journey. 

The sights, the people, the sounds, the smells. 

Experiences we’ve never encountered approaching us, only if we continue to step forward. 

Traveling fast to see more, but not fast enough to take for granted. 

And when we fall off the path of our choosing, we sometimes get back on, ready to push forward across the same. 

But other times, we journey off the path to see another. 

One with less foot prints, but more adventure. 

Our curiosity leading us to uncharted walk ways. 

And in the end, we realize the destination were the sights we saw, the people we met, the life we lived. 

There may be nothing at the destination, or at least not what we hoped and dreamed for.

We realize that as we pushed forward, we lived. 

The question is, did we enjoy it?
