Walk As the Path

Walk As the Path

Last night, I dreamed of a question.

I was sitting in a circle with others—fellow seekers, perhaps—and someone asked me, Which medium do you want to carry forward? Which path will you walk? And without hesitation, I answered: writing.

When I woke, the answer still rang clear. Not just as a preference, but as a remembering. Writing is not just what I do—it’s how I am. It’s how I walk the world. How I gather fragments of meaning, soul-moments, and story-signals, and shape them into something that speaks to others. Words are how I reach out to my tribe—those scattered souls who are also trying to live a life of meaning, on purpose, with soul.

And lately, I’ve been feeling it more deeply than ever.
This call to be truer to myself—not someday, not later, not when the time is right, but now. To live as fully me as humanly possible. To walk the talk, yes—but also to walk as the talk. To be the thing I’m saying.

This morning, I went for one of my Wisdom Walks. The kind where the thinking quiets down and the listening begins. Where the world, if you pay attention, speaks not in sentences, but in signs.

And as I walked, it became clear:

I’m not preparing to live my myth.
I am living it.

Not in some grand, heroic sense—but in the simple, soulful loop I’ve been walking for a while now:
Reflect → Walk → Gather → Create → Share → Repeat.

Each loop is a cycle of becoming. Each message I write—whether blog post, email, or audiogram—is a soul signal. Not “content,” but a call. A way to say:
Here I am. I see you. Let’s walk together.

This morning, after my walk, I pulled three cards from the Osho Zen Tarot:

Trust. Aloneness. Guidance.

And just like that, the inner reflection became an outer echo.

Trust showed me the leap—the willingness to walk without knowing the entire map. That’s what writing is for me. That’s what these messages are. Leaps into the unknown.
No guarantee, no safety net. Just the inner knowing: This is what wants to be said today.

Aloneness reminded me that this path I walk is solitary at times—but not lonely.
It’s the Hermit archetype: not isolated, but sovereign.
Carrying a lantern not just for my own steps, but to light the way for others who might be nearby in the dark.

And Guidance whispered something I needed to remember:
I’m not doing this alone.
There are invisible hands, synchronicities, inner voices, outer reflections.
Conversations like this one—between me and you, dear reader—are part of that guidance.
We teach each other. We mirror each other. We remind each other who we are.

So today, if my life were already in full alignment—if my being, doing, and offering were one seamless soulstream—I wouldn’t do anything differently.

I’d do exactly what I’m doing now.
I’d wake up, walk the walk, listen deeply, and then send out what I’ve heard.

Not to be productive. Not to perform. But to participate.
To stay in the rhythm of the real.

That’s what I want, more than anything:
To live a meaningful, soulful, purposeful life.
To let my work and my play be one and the same.
To stop asking, “Am I on the path?”
And instead, just walk the path.

Because I am the path, walking.
I am the fire, burning.
I am the story, unfolding.

And so are you.


✍️ A prompt for the road:

If your life were already in full alignment,
What would you create today?
Who would you reach out to?
And how would you show up—right now—as if it were already true?

So the dream reinforced what you knew already and the cards helped you rationalise this?
To me, my friend, you are WordSmith and it is your calling to create things that will out live our mortal bodies, the fragile contraptions we drive, the homes we live and quite possibly civilisation itself.
Your forge is the messy office, your raw material is imagination and experience. Like a nuclear reaction, imagination and experience feed off each other. Your fuel comes from the interaction with others, your need to exercise, the love for your family.
This calling to be a WordSmith is as natural for you as it is a beaver to build a dam.
