what did they find at the end of the path?
were there answers?
were there solutions?
was the way clear,
the sky cloudless?
did the dragonflies finally speak?
did a bridge miraculously appear?
did the water turn to ice,
a solid foundation for the rest of the journey?
or did they jump and simply swim?

Was, is, a leap into the void,
hoping in their dreams.

They, of course, found another path. As for the final path— who knows? –Curt

Very nice, Sylvia! 🙂
It would be excellent if, at the end of the path, they discovered the value of the pathless, the motiveless, and the measureless and timeless whole.

Tom, I would love to discover that myself. It would certainly bring a peaceful zen to my life that I do not currently have.

Buddhist paraphrasing thought: We might be able to see a river from the shore and be able to name it a river, but to truly knows it current and depth we must immerse ourselves into it, and thereby we do not find the answers, the answers locate us.

I love this take on life. Timely words. It seems I’ll find out when I get there–not a moment too soon or too late, provided I take one step at a time and remain grounded in the present.

I’m sure we would all do well to “take one step at a time and remain grounded…” Great words.
