Day 141o: Ever further Still … (September 17, 2019)

We are all pilgrims on this earth and in truth are ever strangers. We have all come from afar and we are all going further still … One thing at least remains ever certain: We all must walk, and we all must create our way by our walking. None of us will ever know or find a ready-made path. We will all ultimately be asked to create our own way by walking it ourselves. The path to Self – just like the paths to Love or Peace or Contentment or meaning – is never ready-made, lying there and waiting for us to stumble upon it. No, all such greater ways are just like the sky; fully open & boundless, where the birds fly freely, but never leave footprints. Similarly, we cannot follow others on our more earthbound wanderings. For us there are no footprints left behind by those who have come before – at least no footprints that we ourselves are bound or called to follow.” ~ via Vincent van Gogh & Osho
