The Path less traveled

   Seems not to be the hardest one

   But rather the easiest one

      At least on most days

Confusing isn’t it

   Why would we choose the biggest boulders to jump over

   Who told us life was only worth living if it was lived with difficulty

Wouldn’t it be surprising if we don’t get any stars in our crown for choosing

   The path that brought the most pain

   Or the most tears

   Or the most problems

Wouldn’t it be startling if God intends the opposite

   For God knows life has enough challenges without us adding more

   Or life can be revealed clearly through a light heart too

   Or what we are afraid of is not failure but success

Can’t be can it

   Again who proclaims such messages

      Probably the one who struggles the most

      Who bend our ear telling us how many problems they have

         Or how could life possibly treat them so unfairly

            What is fairness anyway

The older I get the more the path less traveled is

   The one of love and joy I discovered inside of me

      In spite of what is happening outside of me
