In this sculpture, no two pair of feet are facing the same direction. They are pointed toward their own particular path. Is it a path with purpose or is it wandering aimlessly?
Aimless or with Purpose?
At first glance, I thought it was aimless, but as I got closer and physically walked through it, I felt that it was more with purpose. I wish I could feel as solid as these metal limbs, so sure-footed in the direction they wish to travel. Then, I found it. My own path beginning to take shape as I made deliberate steps around the solid masses. To make my way through, my path needs to be my own and not like anyone else.
Stepping on Toes
Sometimes when traveling, we intersect with those that seem to be headed in the same direction and may step on toes. We do not mean to do it, it just happens and we say sorry or excuse me. Can I get to where I am going without stepping on toes? Nope. And I know that mine will get a kick now and then too. It's all part of the journey. I try to look at these missteps as a reminder to keep following my path no matter what.
A Change In Direction
Can a path change? Of course. It is a choice we all make. Do we go left or right? Stay on the familiar or take the road less traveled? No matter what we choose, it is our individual journey from point A to B. We may use a detour now and then, but that is ok. I think the important thing is: find your path with purpose. Make each step count.
My path is about to change. I'm heading in a new direction. I just need to put one foot in front of the other to let the journey begin.
Where is your path taking you and are you going there with purpose?
