Does This Path Have a Heart?

Any path is only a path, and there is no affront,
to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is
what your heart tells you. Look at every path
closely and deliberately. Try it as many times
as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and
yourself alone, one question.
Does this path have a heart?
If it does, the path is good;
if it doesn't it is of no use.
