Really beautiful writing, Dru. Feels like reading a prose poem at times.

"The path invites us to join its thinking."

"When we follow a path, we are reading its memories written on the earth."

Gorgeous and perspective-expanding stuff.

Thank you so much. I love "what if" questions: they let us pick up reality by its heels and shake it upside down to see what magic falls from its pockets.

This is a wonderful piece of writing. Path making has always fascinated me and you’ve added further thoughts for me to dwell on here.

What a beautiful piece of writing - I may have to sit and reread this a few times in the next few days. Thank you for sharing this and the poem and the wonderful reading of it.

Thank you, Meadhbh. And I'd love to hear where the poem takes you as you travel with it this week.

This is such a great read, Dru. Wonderful way of looking at the pathways of the world as living carriers of memory and meaning.

I love this. The relationships between us and the earth and the creatures embedded in paths.

You've given me a new lens to see our interconnectedness with, thank you.
