The Path
As of late..I find myself walking down an unknown path..yet knowing deep inside my heart..that this same path..is the path I should,without hesitation,or question.. be on.
The other day I caught the end of "Bridges of Madison County"..its such a lovely movie and it always moves me to tears when Clint Eastwood says to Meryl Streep...
"This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime."
This time I cried not because of what was happening in the movie,but because this line spoke to me and to what I was feeling at the moment. Feeling lost,..yet found..feeling unsure of myself ...yet confident. Feeling as though even though I know not what the future holds..I am doing EXACTLY what I am supposed to be doing.I am CERTAIN of it.
Can anyone relate?

A while back, I wrote about this walk in the woods where I got lost. I went around and around, but I knew that I could trust myself to find the right path.
Maybe the trusting of the path doesn't come from the path as much as it comes from within us.
Beautiful, thoughtful post.
I can relate and it makes me think of this Robert Frost quote:
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference"
It sounds to me that you know exactly which path to take! Keep your head up, stay the course and let your intuition be your guide.
26+ years later. We still love each other, but it is not what it was, and it was like it was in that movie.
