This path we walk --the one You've given us,
lifted above the swamp of possibilities --
has some bends
we cannot understand:
what is it you know
that is so much less obvious to us?
And what, in us,
is tempted to step off
into the muck and mire?
One single great intention
appears to be more than enough
to carry us through
and yet we hesitate to embark.
Confused by the twists and turns,
we find ourselves looking back
and wondering:
Could there be some other, easier way;
a path WE could control,
or where the destination might be more obvious?

Not only do we "step off"; we often fall off entirely, and then wonder how we got there and how we're going to right ourselves again--something I've been thinking a lot about recently.
I don't think we're necessarily destined to go the hardest way; sometimes, though, it sure seems like that's the plan. But, of course, there's that old saying about planning. . . .
