Walking

I walk the path
Anticipating the crossroads
Where fellow travelers meet
If only for a short time
I feel the call to another life
To share the way with another soul
Instead I journey on
Sometimes walking forward
Sometimes retracing steps tread long ago
Wondering, wandering what it all means
Am I big
Or am I little
Do I see the vastness of space and time
Or does the ego tempt with false illusions
That life is understood
