One person path |
Two or more person path |
This path is traveled by two or more people, is used more often and is wider than the other. There is more than one use for this path. Three specific reasons why they also don't use the shoveled path. It's not as long as the other path, doesn't take them out of their way and is less treacherous. In the event one trips, there may be someone to help.
Follow in someone's footsteps |
Someone told me that to follow in someone's footsteps involves not putting your foot directly in that person's footprint. One makes one's own path even while following in someone's footsteps. The path then ends up a little wider and easier for the next person. {This is one of our customs. I was losing my balance. The toe should have been barely discernible from the other.}
The easiest path used for a variety of reasons. This path has been built up for support, requiring maintenance to keep open. More room to find one's balance if one trips. And because more than one person can fit, one can have help all the way if one needs it. Easier to pick oneself up than on the other paths. {Whose job is it to keep the path open?}
The start of all three paths to get from point A to B. One makes the decision about the path one wants to take. This is where I find myself at this point. I stand considering where I want to go, which way to travel. Three paths all with combinations I could use to get where I'm going. They all connect to another path leading in different directions, whether I stay in the known, safe place or go to unknown, possibly less safe place. I could choose to make a completely new path, one with unknown qualities. Start with one foot on a path, take the next step forging a new path? Which one do I choose?
