ALL PATHS LEAD SOMEWHERE!

All paths lead somewhere! 

If you follow the same path over and over again you would eventually create a trail, then a road, and eventually a highway.  Think of all the paths that have become highways, all kinds of highways, large and small, heading in every direction, leading us wherever we need or want to go.

Life is a highway?  Isn't that what we have heard?

Well maybe for some, it is - but for most of us I believe Life is merely a path!  Us ordinary people who are born, live and die as ordinary people, who's paths only go in a couple of directions, and always bring us back to the place where the path started in the first place, are not capable of creating a highway - and if truth be told, perhaps we were never interested in creating one anyway.

 I believe we are more capable of seeing this reality with age, or perhaps we have reached the point where we have decided that the energy needed to create a highway, has long been exhausted.

Thank the Good Lord Above that our ancestors didn't believe as we do.  They, who were the builders of the first highways, started merely from a few simple steps.  Their paths were fueled by their dreams, and sometimes for their need to survive.  

I think about that a lot.  

Maybe more than I should.

Certainly more than would be considered "cool" in this day and time of fast- paced lives making circles of paths that lead nowhere.

I believe those early highway makers - those who walked the path that became a trail, and then a road; would be so disappointed to see how their tired foot prints are being used today.

All paths lead somewhere.  Where are yours headed?
