Finding Direction When the Path Is Unclear
You are handed a map, but its architect reveals nothing. Every path is drawn in meticulous detail, yet no legend distinguishes the way out from the one that coils deeper into the shadows.
So you stand at the crossroads, parchment in hand. The lines, symbols, and landmarks are all present—a beautiful, intricate lie. For without a destination, the map is not a guide; it is a maze. It is a riddle whose only answer is why.
We are all given this map. We are armed with knowledge, skills, and the charted territories of others. But the true ordeal is not the journey; it is daring to take the first step when the map only shows you the void where your purpose should be.
A map alone is only a record of where others have been. The true compass is the purpose you define. The only direction that matters is the one you choose. Real courage is not in following the lines, but in taking a blank corner of that parchment and drawing your own path, carving a route into the uncharted blackness, even if you must do it with nothing but defiance.
The Heartwood Path
Where the shadow and soul converge.
You have walked far to find this place. The weight of the world, the echoes of yesterday, the shadows we carry—leave them at the threshold for a time. This is not a trial, but a quiet conversation with the deepest part of yourself. Själskog asks for nothing but your presence. There are no right or wrong turns, only your path. Breathe deep. The forest listens.
"With Light as my guide and the Journey as my map,
I capture not just images, but a Vision of a world waiting to be seen."
- Själskog, Soul-Forest
