“Stepping Stones”

One of my favorite inspirational quotes is “If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it's not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That's why it's your path.” - Joseph Campbell

I love the idea of ‘stepping stones’ representing this idea, for any sort of journey - small or large - where you know where you are standing right now in this moment - and you know who you are right now in this moment. You also know your ‘aim’ or where you want to go, what your goal or vision or dream is. You can feel it inside, there is a sense of deep knowing, and also of being guided by something higher. But in order to go there, you have to begin. You have to move. You can’t see the whole path and how things are going to unfold, but you have trust and courage. And the stepping stones appear with every step you take.
