The Path is made by Walking - The Rev. Joyce Keeshin

In the business world I lived in, When someone said the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, that was not a good thing. That was talking about things falling apart pretty quickly. But here I believe Jesus is speaking with hyperbole, delivering a powerful message for us. To give our attention to whatever we are doing. What our hands are doing. Where our feet are carrying us. What our eyes are focused on. To be awake within ourselves and in our interactions with others. To not fall into or be in default ways of being that set up stumbling blocks for others, and that do not follow Jesus path of love. The path is made by walking. Walking makes the path. Sometimes it's clear when we're starting a new path. Choosing a new school, a new work position, retirement, sabbatical, being in a committed relationship, suffering, suffering a, a deep loss. New experiences with some direction to them. Sometimes they are anticipated, they are thought through over time, and sometimes they happen spontaneously.
