More than anything, I want assurances.
But knowing that that is not how life works,
I would simply ask for a clear path.
No, not the kind of clear path many have tread upon,
with its packed soil and wild phlox edging the walkway.
I do not need my path to be common or pretty.
I just want a way that gets my attention,
pokes -- oh so gently but firmly -- and says
yes, this is the trailhead now.
