For eight months I have been building a path in our backyard. Rows of pine trees frame our little house; and for the seven years we have lived here, we have tried to clean out the vines and underbrush that grow around and beside the planted trees. We have not been very successful at a complete clearing. So I decided to wind a path through the trees, back and forth along the edges and deep within the forest that marks our property. It is a path through the fallen timber, the twisting and poisonous vines, the deep and layered stacks of leaves and pine straw and sticks. It is a line through this forest we could not clean. Now as I walk the pristine journey that stretches through the wildness of outdoor life, I am convinced of the similarities between this path and the paths our lives take both spiritually and emotionally.
