We Each Have a Path, a Purpose

"We each ha[ve] a path, a purpose that the Creator ha[s] chosen for us. Just as a warbler knows to sing, and build its nest, and fly south in winter," we find our purpose by creating our own paths akin to a "winged samara of a maple tree, a wind-borne seed searching for a place to set root." – Diane Wilson (Dakhóta)
