Paths

When I saw the initial view for this picture I immediately visualized a final image that appears as shared here - sort of inviting, but not really, busy and confusing - so much at once yet not enough to explain in entirety. The name for the piece was right there too - “Paths.”

Throughout life we follow various paths. Some paths lead to success of some degree while others appear to be leading toward success, but really prove to be much less. When lucky we venture down paths where the end goal is easily seen. Other times we work our way forward on a path to destinations unknown and often uncomfortable.

My life story includes many paths. Perhaps the most intriguing is a path I happily followed only to find out the path included illusions with circumstances not being what they appear. Disappointing yes, but learning lessons too. Soon a different journey down another unknown path will begin. Time will tell where that path will lead.

Those who do not take a chance to wander an unknown path miss out on opportunities, successes, and failures. It is safe to not venture down an unknown path, but also non-productive. I encourage you to take a risk, walk that unknown path… see where you might go. Celebrate the successes and learn from the challenges.
