Meditation: Trails

“Every person has the power to make others happy.
Some do it simply by entering a room --
others by leaving the room.
Some individuals leave trails of gloom;
others, trails of joy.
Some leave trails of hate and bitterness;
others, trails of love and harmony.
Some leave trails of cynicism and pessimism;
others trails of faith and optimism.
Some leave trails of criticism and resignation;
others trails of gratitude and hope.
What kind of trails do you leave?”
~William Arthur Ward
Feeling grateful for the trails I walk, which are mostly paved and sweet. Those that are rough and brambly are somehow passable - I'm grateful for the strength and help to get through them. And grateful for those who have blazed trails before me... so, so, so grateful.
