Changing Paths challenge day 28 — the crossroads

“Only one heart had to find its true position and travel on from there and all the rest would follow, for no matter how isolated the one felt itself to be, in the deeps of all life all were united and no one could move accurately without all ultimately moving with it…”

—Laurens van der Post, A Far-Off Place, p 304

“The crossroads is a liminal place, an in-between place. It is often seen as uncanny, the place where criminals and suicides were buried, a place that might sweep you off your feet and carry you to some unknown destination, a place where you went to sell your soul to the Devil in exchange for some great talent. The crossroads is a profoundly uncomfortable place to be. So is sitting on the fence between two positions. But the ambiguity of the crossroads gives you freedom. You have at least four paths to choose from, plus the option of staying where you are.”
— Changing Paths, chapter 5: At the crossroads
