The Way is not across the impassable mountain ranges,
nor beyond the heaving waves of the wine dark sea,
nor over the deep divides of canyons and winding valleys,
nor through the endless caves and caverns of lost ways and 
hopeless cliffs.

But it is right here at your very bedside
and by your rocking chair by the window.
All you have to do is listen to your dreams
and follow your intuition in sync with 
your original nature and your innate virtues
(The things you do best and enjoy doing most).
So that you know what's what and what is called for
in each situation as it arises
simply by doing what needs to be done,
when, where and how it needs to be done,
with the gifts that are yours to serve and share
for the joy of doing it
and the satisfaction of having done it
no matter what,
day by day,
just like a newborn baby would do,
spontaneously,
without an agenda or a plan,
like one might eat when hungry,
or rest when tired,
out of your deepest, truest, best self
dancing as one with the circumstances of your life
throughout the time left for living.

"There's nothing to it but to do it" (Maya Angelo).
