Your path consists of nothing but decisions. Choices. You are what you think. What you do.
 
 
 


Ki - The Way of The Path


***********************************





The Path



The Path is not an exercise in futility. It is not an opportunity to hide from reality.
It is a focused attempt to search for self.
Existence is a given. If we have no confidence in the fact that we exist,
Then there is nothing of substance to be found, and no real reason to even search.

You have heard it said many times and in many forms.
The path is not about any physical nor existential destination.
It is truly only about the journey.

Life is an adventure, where we attempt to discover truth.
It can be a time of intense frustrations and inexplicable confusions.
Truth is an elusive commodity under the best of circumstances,
and almost never definitive.

We have the greatest challenges before us,
Which is to make an intimate decision on how to live our lives.
To learn the differences between right and wrong,
exactly what it means to love,
and who we are.

More importantly, who we wish to be.

yourself



your path is not there to lose yourself
it is where you find yourself

~ ki ~


************************



edge


chaos brings you to the abyss
the madness pushes you to the edge
philosophy tames the maelstrom
your soul smiles with recognition
you are ready for yet another step

~ ki ~


*****************************



mountain


There are many paths to the top of a mountain
I will find my own way there

~ ki ~


***********************************



beget


searching
always searching
for what i have as yet no knowledge
questions beget answers beget questions
the path seduces
with no direction or destination
i will remain lost
until i am finally found

~ ki ~


*******************



everywhere


the path leads nowhere
it will take you everywhere
where you shall find everything

~ ki ~


*********************



alone


We come into this world alone

for the most part, we live our lives alone
we die alone

the path is unique
it is ours alone

~ ki ~


********************************



nowhere


the road leads to nowhere
it is where you need to be

~ ki ~


*****************



direction


i know not where my path leads
i am not lost
i do not think of destinations
but i have direction
i simply enjoy each and every step
and yet
i am always searching

~ ki ~


******************



misunderstanding


there is no path to happiness
it seems
there has been
a misunderstanding

~ ki ~


************************



here


do not look to the horizon
for your destination
it is always here before you
whenever you are ready

~ ki ~


****************



wait


if we lose each other along the way
wait for me, for I will find you

~ ki ~


*************************



changed


when you find yourself on a path going nowhere
remember that the decision is yours alone
change the direction of your journey
and the next step is the first step
of your path into a new future

~ ki ~


******************



search


do not search for the right path
. . . . . create one

~ ki ~


*******************



judge


you may judge
for the journey and decision is yours alone
but do so with empathy
as you do not know their experience
and understanding
so as to learn from the encounter

~ ki ~


*********************



destiny


what awaits me as I travel my path ?
‘destiny’
whispers your soul

~ ki ~


*********************************



awaits


may your path always lead to the sun
you may not see it, and yet it awaits
hidden by night, shrouded by clouds
and yet waiting for the next encounter

~ ki ~


***********************



turn


when you find your path leading in the wrong direction
you need not turn around
just turn

~ ki ~


****************

The World According To Ki  [E]
Ki experiences the world from a different perspective. The questions define existence.
