Your Path -- From my upcoming book The_Power_Of_Yes_

          Each human being is unique, none are identical.
          We are absolutely, totally, wondrously, unique.

When two or more people go the same way from here to there, they create a path. Sometimes you imagine you are looking for someone else, a soul partner, but it is only you, a reflection of you. If you follow their path, you will find them.  But in whatever happens between longing and finding, you start out wondering who you are and wind up discovering yourself. There is only one you, so no second person can do it the same and thereby make it a path.  If there is a path, at least one of the travelers is lost. 

So as you move it does not need to be recorded.  Where you have been, you will never return.  Where you are about to tread, you know not.  

Often you have heard that it is not the destination, but the journey.  Be in each moment, just where you are.  Do not fear over the future nor gaze wistfully behind.  Be here, now.  Ad let your mind, your vision, your attention expand a bit and immediately, in the light of your awareness, your next step is revealed.  Take it.  

You may notice someone has been here before.  Appreciate it.  You may notice this spot will be nice for so-and-so.   Leave a little sign.  When you come across a well-worn path, do not take it.  It is trodden by the lazy who no longer see their own next step but instead are following a path.  If you need truth of this, look around you.  The world is a well-trodden path.  Rarely will you share some steps with another.  But when you do, cherish them.  Fall in love.  But hold them only with the powerless grip of the air around your hand. Give them yourself totally, completely, fully, deeply.  Breath their breath while it is present.   When their next steps lead somewhere else, take your own.  Go.  Go your way, your path.  When it is into a crowd, take it.  When it leaves, take it.  Live in each moment.  When a step appears, take it.  Leave little signs, but blaze no trail.  Leave reverential candles as sparks in the night.  Step.  Now.  Here.  "Ah, I see!"  Step.
