A path with heart

March 9th, 2008 § Leave a Comment

This is just one of a million paths,
anything is one of a million paths.
Therefore you must always keep in mind that a path is only a path,
if you feel that you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any conditions.

To have such clarity you must live a disciplined life,
only then will you know that a path is only a path
and there’s no affront to oneself or to others in dropping it
if that is what your heart tells you to do.

But your decision to keep on the path or to leave it
must be free of fear or ambition.
I warn you, look at every path closely and deliberately,
try it as many times as you think necessary
and ask yourself and yourself alone one question:

Does this path have a heart?

All paths are the same, they lead nowhere.
In my own life I could say I’ve traversed long long paths,
but I’m not anywhere.

Does this path have a heart?
If it does the path good,
if it doesn’t it is of no use.

Both paths lead nowhere,
one has a heart the other doesn’t,
one makes for a joyful journey as long as you follow it,
you are one with it, the other will make you curse your life.
One makes you strong, the other weakens you

Don Juan Matus
