February: On Life

February 15

Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Stephen King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft.

It's inevitable that we will stray from the path of life. It happens to us all, and it happens to us all many times, you can be sure.

You may believe that you're being led astray by external forces, but really, can these things, people, or circumstances force decisions upon you?

Ultimately, you are responsible for your decisions and actions. Nothing and no one else can force your hand. 

But when you do find yourself in the wild, away from the path of life, what is it that will lead you back? 

What's on your table?
