God of mystery and of wonder, So many of us when we are young set out to chart our life`s path, clear on our
vision of where we want to go, or where we want to end up, often starting down paths that are well worn by those who came before us. But life rarely goes according to plan, and if we are lucky, we discover that life`s most interesting and satisfying journeys are the ones we come upon by accident.
Ralph Waldo Emerson advised: Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
May it be Your will O God that we not be afraid to forge our own path, to try novel solutions to old problems, or dare to explore new ideas. And by doing so, may we leave a trail that others yearn to travel.
May this be God`s will.
