Out walking & talking and it was dank as you like. Quiet and still. (I feel compelled to use the word “ethereal”.)
A visible mist connected all objects together (how apt).
Anyway, we could seldom see the path. And I know this hill like the back of my hand, but we were engrossed in conversation and my attention was 100% on that and there came a point when I turned to my client and 'fessed up:
“I have no idea where we are right now, by the way. I don't know where this leads. Shall we continue?”
It brought to mind a litany of quotes about our path through life, towards some destination or other that we feel pulled towards. Here’s a selection for you:
❝
“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
❝
“If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.”
~ Barack Obama
