The Great Path


  • “The great path has no gates,
    Thousands of roads enter it
    when one passes through
    this gateless gate
    He walks freely
    between heaven and earth"
    Zen


    The great path - a one-way street for some and a convolution
    of twists and turns for others. Is one better than the other? Is
    the straight ahead, do not pass go, quick and easy route what
    is right? Is the scenic, stop and learn way wrong? Does it
    matter? The path is there regardless of how it leads – it
    simply leads and it is up to the individual to follow it and
    make it his own.


    The great path; like the hub of a wheel – it goes unnoticed
    most often but without it, the wheel ceases to turn. It is
    important, it is always there – working and stabilizing. The
    hub with its spokes . . . a number of paths leading to one
    center – isn’t this the way of the world?


    The great path - different roads leading to the same
    destination. Why condemn one path and not another. Why
    hold one higher? Why beat another down?
    Why not open one’s eyes and mind and take them all for
    what they are – Hope.
