passage

while reading the tao of physics, i came across this passage right before the start of the first chapter that elicited my attention. the passage is as follows:

Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you ... Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question ... Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use.
Clarlos Castenada, The Teachings of Don Juan

just thought i'd share that with everyone reading this blog. we may have heard this in one form or another and that it may sound cliche, but sometimes we just need to bethink certain nuances in our lives. this message could have easily been forgotten or compartmentalized and put away over time and or our busy schedules.
