Signposts

"Treading troden trails for a long long time", is a line from a Dave
Mathews song I was listening to as I passed this signpost.

Ultimately it's always up to the self as to which direction your trail
is and as those old Indian dudes bathing themselves in the Ganges say
(in a myraid of ways) all trails ultimately lead to the One. Or, you
can always get there from here and no here can ever be the wrong place
to begin.

Then of course the next old man says, "and if you think you are just
beginning you have forgotten you started before you could remember but
you must realize you can never truly forget for in the song of a
babies cry, the footsteps of a stranger, the breaking of an ocean wave
you will hear the beginning of all things which gave birth to you and
bore you simultaneously". Then he urinates in the water and walks off
with smile.
