good 'ol Ralph...

All this talk about journeys and paths reminded me of this great quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The thing I love about all these amazing poets, writers and  philosophers is that they make me think new thoughts, question old ones and feel more keenly.


The thing I don't appreciate so much, is that I am left with all these thoughts, questions and feelings that I don't often know how to put into action.

My problem is that I have been expecting to blaze "my trail," when in reality it's more like seeing occasional sparks along the way.


But, I think that's the point of Ralph's statement here; take all that you have and all that you are and  just start making your own way.  If the course is authentic- it can't be wrong!
