I shall lead you on and on into whichever way I would have you journey and you need take no anxious thought as to the journey's end.
- Eva Bell Werber, The Voice of the Master

When you are aware that you're on a spiritual journey, that your path on this journey is uniquely yours, you'll be able to recognize when the path is wide and easy to follow or when it is narrow and not so easy. The path behind you was all the experiences that brought you to where you are now. The path that lies before you will be all your experiences that are still to come.

How do you recognize when your spiritual path narrows? It shows up by something wanting to catch your attention. You feel like you've had a disconnect on a project, or you're not sure about something happening at work, or maybe a relationship needs more attention than usual. We all have times when we don't know what to do. A lot of people get confused and jump to worrying because they think something is wrong, or they feel anxiety because they feel out of control. Then there re those who realize something is up, and begin listening more attentively from within.

Have you ever forged a path through a wooded area or up a mountain? Sometimes the path gets so narrow, it's hard to locate. It demands more of your attention than normal. When you come to a place where you think you've lost the path and can't find it, worrying doesn't do anything but make you feel more lost. What I suggest is to stop, center yourself and simply wait. At some point your path will reappear and you'll know where to go. Let me reassure you that there is no worry when your path narrows. A narrowing path is nothing more than a focused opportunity.

What's being called forth in you is to be more focused and single minded. Be brave and travel on!

- Rev. Micheal Torphy

I journey forward on my spiritual path with the utmost confidence that I will known when to move and when to be still, when to act and when to listen.
