The quiet paths through nature speak to me instead. I admit the older I get and the more in tune I am to myself the less I care about paved roads. It also shows us where we too have much still to learn.
OPEN ROADS APOTHECARY SERIES
Our life seen as a series of roads and paths we take gives us a storyline we can reflect on. There are also people who are less than well intended who are looking for that opportunity to take advantage of us in a situation and sadly we have to watch out for that too. Sometimes well intended people mean well but we must always strive to be true to ourselves in the end. No one, absolutely no one knows you better than you. There are a lot of roads people will encourage us to go down because they think it is right for us. That part has been hardest for me to learn and accept but when I also lose sight of the want it now effect that too becomes a little easier to navigate these tougher situations. The truly wrong turns can be fixed with our own determination and effort to continue trying. I have also come to realize that regardless of the road I choose and outcome it brings me to, I at the very least learn something while on it. Letting go of those outside influences that tell me I should or should not quiets the noise so I can see it for myself. I have learned to find the natural road for me is when I’m truly tuned into my own heart and mind. That open curiosity and willingness to be an explorer in our own life is what provides those opportunities for us to learn, enrich our lives and make memories. I have found when I am in this mindset even the toughest roads become a little less stressful and I can continue to make those baby steps forward or remap my route. Yet when we first start out we feel ready for anything and are open to the possibilities ahead and what it could mean in our life. There can also be pain, loss, risk and more on some of these roads that we can’t always predict. We don’t always know though do we? There are plenty of opportunities we pursue that don’t pan out or the road is a dead end. Many years later I still think it was the best move I’ve ever made in my life. This was going to be a good road, I just felt it. Those roads that require us to change everything in our life have of course the most risk but also the greatest potential for rewards too. It wasn’t a light decision to make in moving several states away from all and who I knew but I did it anyway. I heard them all but my heart and mind were already packed and headed there. Yet I had friends who thought I was crazy, others who were worried for me and some who shared in my excitement. When I moved to South Carolina from Kentucky to be with my now husband, I was filled with excitement. The best roads though are the ones we choose entirely on our own because they interest us. Sometimes these roads go on forever in what seems like a drought flat land that doesn’t prosper and other times it’s like cutting our own path through heavy brush. These roads shape and influence us, teach us the hard lessons and even give a view every now and then of that ultimate destination. Hours are subject to change.The roads we choose to travel in life become not only part of our story but a compilation of who we are as a person.
