"The path that can be discerned as a path
is not a reliable path" (Martin Palmer/Lao Tzu). 

We know the path that is our path,
the way that is our way,
only by way of hindsight,
and by way of being open to the here/now
through emptiness--
as empty as the space 
between breaths--
stillness and silence.

Seeing what we look at,
listening to what we are hearing,
asking all of the questions
that beg to be asked of everything,
saying what cries out to be said
about everything,
and trusting ourselves
to the flow of energy/vitality
throughout our time upon the earth.

Everyone is moved by something.
Toward something.
Away from something.

Following the movement 
of the things that move us.

Being aware of what moves us
and moving with it,
in accord with it,
in tune with yes and no
in each situation as it arises.

Aware of balance and harmony.
Aligned with original nature
and innate virtues/specialties,
allowing the path to unfold before us,
letting the way be the way
of being moved by what moves us,
amazed at how simple
and wonder-filled
life can be.
