The Path

I was reading a meditation by Rev. Dr. Robert Dunham about staying on our life's path. When we are young it seems easy to stay on the path but as we get older the hills, mountains and trials can be so difficult that the the flatlands are a refuge. He talked of forgetting God in the easy patches but I saw the whole metaphor as a clear example of my creativity path. I will be going along great and then a catastrophe, a steep hill or dangerous path and it requires so much focus that I lose sight of my goals and when the path smooths out I rest when I should be jumping back on my stuffed horse!
