PATH INSIGHT
There is a path
In sight
And a path
Out of sight
And to walk both
Your eyes must be
Open and
Closed at
The same time

Damn. Problem is, it makes me dizzy and I lose my footing...
I sense the deep truth in this, although it's slippery to pinpoint what it actually means. Well expressed.

Thanks. If I walk the path with my eyes closed, I get scared that I will bump into things, even though my feet can tell me when I'm off the path and I can correct. I do encourage trying this relatively harmless (depending on the surroundings, of course) leap of faith at times.

I actually love walking in the dark. I rarely use a flashlight when I'm camping.... I'll have to try navigating with my eyes closed sometime.
In the metaphorical sense, it gets more complicated. Or maybe I just need more practice....

The eyes closed thing really works for clearing the mind, but it's really hard to make yourself do it for the required amount of time (20 seconds at least)

Bravo! While physical sight is important, internal guidance is more so in regards to direction.

The great balancing act of being in, but not of, the world. Excellently penned.
