“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.” ― Paulo Coelho

The journeys we undertake. The paths we choose. Under the subtle guidance of whispered prayers.

“Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important then proving anything to anyone.” ― Alan Cohen

“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I Shall take the hidden paths that run West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien

The illuminated path. Never alone. #hockinghills #ohio

Fear of displeasing others puts you in bondage to them. Don’t ever give someone else that kind of power. It will reek havoc with lives and destroy families. Instead let go of the fear. Be still and give it to God. He’ll take it from there.
