Every Hidden Path

 

As a kid I wasn’t just obsessed with the idea of exotic worlds filled with magic. I was also fascinated by the idea of hidden pathways in and out of those magical worlds. Little trails along the edges of a field, for example. Made by the mere footfalls of those who walked those edges. Or dirt paths through a vast forest. Whispering rivers, secret passages, and special maps to buried treasure. I adored those kinds of stories as a child. I still do. Because now, as an adult with first-hand experience of the unseen realms, I finally realize how real it all is. They’re beautiful fictions, for sure, but they’re also stories filled with unimaginable insight. The world is a truly magical place. It’s not all dark and hopeless. There is sweet enchantment everywhere too. In legends and in life. We can all experience that sweetness, if we choose to see with the right kind of eyes. We can all be adventurers and explorers, especially when we work together in a spirit of genuine friendship. I hope I never lose that sense of enchantment. I hope you don’t either, my friend. I want you to know that you’re special, and cherished. It’s in this spirit of joyful camaraderie that I share this video with you. Be well.
