Path

Grooves carved on mother earth’s skin.

So many textures-

dirt

cobblestone

cement

black top

red carpet

velvet.

Your path may look like a cut-a-way-

A little side path off the main path.

Your path may look like an airplane run way

or a model’s runway lit up on stage.

Your path is revealed

on the palm of your hand.

Look into a day lit mirror and

see the lines drawn upon your face.

It is here, your path is revealed.

Your path holds flow

like a ditch carries water.

Your path leads so you can follow.

Your path stores memory

of all those before you.

Your path connects the dots.

honor your path of being human this lifetime.

Maintain your path.

It’s part of being human.

Clear your path of rubble.

Beef up its edges.

Repair any erosion

caused from stumbling

onto another’s path.

If you pulled path –

Be willing to explore the edges.

Put fear aside and do what needs to be done.

Be willing to take personal risks.

Step into your truth.

Walk your talk to defend your beliefs.

When you look at your path-

do you see a main path or a cut through?

Re-member

who walked before you

and who follows behind you.

Explore the edges of your path.

Is your path wide enough for you to

skip, hop, jump, leap?

How can you widen your groove

of authenticity?
