My path is not what I had thought it would be. Never have I accounted for anything that may be on the path where I have found myself. I do not know where it leads. I do not know what I will find along the way.
Will it be hardship? Will I find my heart’s desire? There is no way for me to know, but I am putting one foot ahead of the other, step by step, walking along this path, because I believe it will take me where I am needed.
There are times when I feel as if I should step off of the path, and into oblivion, but I fight those urges. It isn’t because I feel I am worthy, but I do feel as though there is something ahead of me, a task I must fulfill. I do not know what that task is, or how I will go about resolving it, but I am walking that path.
It could lead to great wealth, and fame. It could lead to lying alone in abandoned alleyways. It could lead to prison. It could lead to my destruction. It could lead to all of these things, and more. My path may be a hundred thousand steps, or it may consist of only one step. There is no way to know. All I know is that must walk it.
I walk my path with a blessing from the Goddess Selene, who illuminates my steps as I travel, and guides my heart with Her wisdom.
