At the Crossroads

paths
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. — Henry David Thoreau


When autumn arrived I was all set to put my new blogging and social networking plan into action. I was energized and ready to stride off down my own path and bring my online life into balance with my offline life.  However,  opportunity came knocking  on my partner’s door and I found myself standing at a crossroads. After due consideration we made the joint decision to strike off down another path together.

For the last two months we have worked together to make our two-part project succeed. Part 1 is time constrained by a deadline that we must meet by the end of this month.  If Part 1 is successful then Part II will give rise to a significant change in where we invest our time for several years.

For me there is only the traveling on paths that have heart, on any path that may have heart, and the only worthwhile challenge is to traverse its full length–and there I travel looking, looking breathlessly.” — Carlos Castaneda

What this has meant for me is that my blogs have been on the back burner. I simply haven’t been able to keep up with creating content, visiting blogs and commenting. When the new month arrives this will change but today I wanted to graciously thank all my readers for hanging in there.
