The Path

“The moment that he Begins to walk along it, the Warrior of the Light recognizes the Path. 
Each stone, each bend cries welcome to him.  He identifies with the mountains and the streams, he sees something of his own soul in the plants and the animals and birds of the field.”  ~ Paulo Coelho
Redwoods 2009

Every time I read this, I am struck by how incredibly beautiful these words are.  It is in moments such as these described by Coelho, that I feel such a deep gratitude for the complexity of nature, of ourselves, and the unexplainable connection that exists between us all.  That is all I will say, as I do not want to add any more analysis.  Words as beautiful as these resonate best when deeply felt, not over-thought.  Enjoy.

  1. Am I allowed to analyze? :) I LOVE this quote and immediately copy and pasted it into my collection of quotes. I interpreted the "it" and "Path" as following your passions, and identifying with one's surroundings as the "God whispers" that are the green flags that tell you that you are indeed on the right path. Excellent!
