The Path in Which I Choose

The Pathway....
there are several different ways on can go when is search of a ground and place to walk upon.

the already paved road
the already paved road is solid
it is set in its ways
there are cracks in it
but it will always be there because, after all, it has been there for so long thus far....
it is easy on the foot...
on may trip, but that is simply because of the man made cracks along the way....

the unpaved road
covered with grass in a lush area
covered in gravel in an area where there has not been growth for a while
there is room to grow
life is encouraged to happen....
transformation comes from this lush surface
new trees, grass, flowers,... it is harvest ready!

which pathway shall i follow on the journey I have been placed on?? the one that has already been paved for me to tread upon... it is sturdy.... it is secure.... it is unchanging...but yet solid. i have no fear that it will withstand the weight that it needs to... there may be a breaking point, but it has proved itself mighty thus far.
the unpaved territory... it has not even been thought of as of yet.... there is hope...anything is possible...the only thing holding it back is lack of vision and dream.... no limitations have been placed on it as of yet, new life can flourish... however, because it has not yet been tread upon there are many bumps along the way...i may fall, i may get tripped up from time to time because of the uncertainty of this unpaved way...but the lushness of the grass brings comfort when i find myself on my face yet again, and this pushes me to go that much farther... what have i to lose at this point....

pride?
selfish ambition?
certainty?
stability?

what might i gain from this?

destiny?
higher calling?
purpose?
reason in life?


all because of the the chance i am willing to take by taking the road that is yet to be paved....
