Bushwhacking a Trail for Those Who Come After

     I dodged trucks on the asphalt road leading to the trail along the creek nearby. Uninspiring! So I decided to bushwhack a new path through an unexplored open space next to the road. With hiking boots and a cudgel I set out to carve a new course. What would I find?
     After slashing through a thicket of thistles, I entered a grove. Surprise - three deer stared at me, then pranced off. High above, a bird serenaded me. Crickets added a rhythmic chorus. Delightful!     I crawled over skeletons of fallen trees, then I faced two ravines thick with bushes. It took a few tries, but I whacked through them.
     I traversed a prairie, stepped over a drainage ditch, and waded through tall grasses, picking up cockleburs. Then I wended through a patch of milkweed and finally reached the familiar dirt path by the creek.This was so much more inspiring than the asphalt road.
     When I led grandsons along my new Bushwhack Trail, they were like mountain goats scaling the fallen trees and scampering through the steep ravines. I realized I’m simply the pioneer here, opening a way for those who come after me. They’ll go farther and faster.
​     Others have opened up opportunities for me in the past. Now it’s my turn. How about you? What trails can you blaze for others?

There are a few physical and psychological markers of realizing that you love someone, however. Oftentimes, the realization that you love someone will come upon you suddenly, even though it likely took a long time to build.

Many people describe love by using emotions, although love is not necessarily an emotion, in and of itself.

Love is an abstract concept that is hard to pinpoint and understand.
