Following Your Path
<p>I suppose to make this daily double creative responsibility a little bit easier, I’ll try to combine my current Inktober prompt and my weekly blog posts. Today’s prompt was “Path.” My ink interpretation of this prompt was a bit of a cutesy Halloween take, with a little ghost taking a small break while floating along a forest path.</p>
<p>This was a bit of an easy prompt to complete. We all know what a path is, and the metaphor of traveling down the path of life is one that is facile and yet a foundational one. Our life begins and it ends, simple as that.</p>
<p>Of course, the path from beginning to end is never simple, and it is totally and utterly unique to each person who takes it, even if you are an identical twin. If I stop to think a little bit about my own life path, I can certainly say that it has been a slightly wandering and somewhat rootless one. My parents were travelers. My father joined the US Marine Corps when he was 18 and never looked back. He married a Filipina woman when he was stationed in the Philippines, and she left her entire family and support system to travel across the world to be with him.</p>
