The path you walk is yours to choose,
no matter where that journey starts
or how you follow the faint clues
that will distract you. If you’re smart,
you’ll use your eyes to look around,
to take in what you see, and use
the little things along the way.
The path you walk is yours to choose.
Each day brings more and different news,
some light and darkness, and their parts
decay and birth. You’ll see such views
no matter where your journey starts,
or who may travel at your side.
Take all the time you need. You lose
nothing with each step you decide,
or how you follow the faint clues.
So take a moment. There’s no use
pretending that your life is art
that takes great skill. That’s just a ruse
that will distract you. If you’re smart,
you’ll simply walk, and from the start
imagine with your mind and heart
a world that underneath your shoes
includes you, an integral part.
The path you walk is you.
