Coneflowers Along the Path © 2013 Bo Mackison
“We may run, walk, stumble. drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.” ~ Gloria Gaither
Not every path winds through a garden of purple coneflowers, a beautiful sight to enjoy. But every path has its own appeal — sights to see, places to visit, people to greet. Today’s journey may be a stroll through a garden or a walk up and down the aisles of a grocery store.
Today’s journey may be a cross country flight or a walk in the neighborhood. Today’s journey may be a journey in your mind from anxiety to calm, from boredom to engagement, from disappointment to acceptance.
Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you’re going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are. ~ Anne Lamott
Though life’s journey encompasses years, one expereinces those years in months, weeks, days, moments. How are you going to spend these next precious moments?
The JOURNEY card offers inspiration for contemplation, journal writing, perhaps an art activity or a daily practice. How does it inspire you?

Wonderful image and great questions.
Coneflowers are a prairie favorite.
One second at a time, one breath at a time, one thing at a time. Love your coneflowers!
Yes, a moment at a time. Thank you, Debi!
Beautiful coneflowers. Today I’m walking slowly, taking deep breaths, and watching the butterflies in the meadows. 🙂
Butterflies in meadows sounds like quite a delightful journey.
Love this, and the thoughts you’ve presented. Currently pondering.
