This request was made by Cunnian for Pathmaking/Breaking/Taking.
Pathmaking
I breathe in and the hardest part begins
Take the first step
Walk
The woods close and everything becomes dark
Cut the new way
Walk
Bring the light forward and mark the new way
Light the path
Walk
Pathbreaking
See the closed path, the broken journey, the wrong turn
Twisted ways and poor choices
Close them
Know the abusive words, the cruel actions, the raw results
Good intentions and low lies
End them
Feel the pained sigh, the heavy heart, the weeping wound
Healing boundaries and building resilience
Build them
For the old ways are shut, shut, shut
So the new ways may open, open, open
So the reciprocity and balance can return, return, return
Pathtaking
Feel the ground as it passes beneath
The choices behind each step
Propeling the next
Know the solidity of the way under you
The hamingja built up in generations
The lykr of the world
Smell the life and decay around you
Petrichor, compost, mulch, and soil
Life in death, death in life
Taste the breath of the World
Air as it rustles the leaves, the grass
Shared from trees, our Ancestors
Hear the way you are walking
The creak of feet on ground
The hearts that walk with you
See the progress you have made in the walking
The miles of life, the work of your Ancestors
How much you have left to go
