A simple exercise; just follow the path through to the other side.
To begin a path that from the onset I knew both the beginning and the destination felt silly, and pointless. But, why not walk where so many had gone before—the experience promised insight.
I followed the instructions and began. It was hard to stay within the lines. I wanted to go fast—not waste time. Then the turns were tight and at first I found it difficult to balance myself. I slowed and focused more on what I was doing.
As I reached the center I began to notice how everything changed. The room started to move. Then I noticed my shadow constantly moving until I was looking straight ahead at my shadow—the representation of where I had been. I stopped in the middle and pondered the journey—my journey. I was trapped with no way out except to turn around and go back to the beginning.
So many times I had to turn. I knew the journey back would take many turns, but this time they were familiar. I thought of what I would have gained by my experience and as the circles grew larger again a desire to share my experience also grew. I have a purpose.
I walk the path He has set before me. I love Him for providing the way. May I look to the light and observe the shadow I cast and in all things be grateful. Thank You.
