The path: know the path and walk the path. But which path? The path I see behind me twinkles like fresh-washed gold in the fading sunlight, yet I know that street, I know where it goes and I also know that I have chosen otherwise.

The bridge upon which I stand shivers, the portion I have crossed crumbles, yet still I stand here. Still I stand in the middle, looking back, thinking, pondering the outcome of my choices. And a small voice says, "Live in the moment." The moment is now. Enjoy what you have yet strive to learn more. Strive to learn yourself like a well-crafted weapon or a priceless musical instrument. Strive, and in that striving, learn, grow and become who you are.
