but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.’

so true, ab. you are spot on. this was a picture I took of my grandson walking alone and it made me think about how some people have to be the first ones to begin a path and others will follow over time, it is hopeful. –

I took this photo of one of my grandsons when we were out on a long walk. when I found it again, I looked for a quote that expressed how I was feeling about it. he was walking alone, along a path, that not many people had walked on, but the more people that walked on it, the more would continue to walk on it, and hope would walk with each of them, for those yet to follow. this fit perfectly. hope is one of my favorite words too and one of the things that keeps us going through many challenges, even if the road is hard to find at times.
