Creating My Path

Spring Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Nature Art”

New paths appear when least expected.

When I began writing my first non-academic book, I could not come up with a title that suited the spiritual nature of my message. In a bout of frustration, I decided to let my worries go, knowing that the Universe would point me in the right direction.

I went for a run on an inspiring path next to our house. Along the way, I observed this unusual stone path set out by an unknown artist. In an instant, I felt the words come to me — Creating Your Path.

Sometimes, we don’t know the next step, but we can trust that it will come. Everything shows up at the right time and place. If we remember this, perhaps we will remain open to the possibilities that appear before us.
