Love this prompt. Reminds me of the book Ender’s Game, where youth live and train on a space ship. When it is time to go anywhere - dinner, training, a meeting with their leaders - a trail of light-up dots on the floor would lead the way to your destination. Each team had a dot trail color.
I remember thinking, Sure wish I had a trail of dots lighting my way to the next thing!
I'm enjoying the debate in my head: is it a cautionary sign-"good luck, you're on your own, no one will come to your aid"? Or is it an encouraging sign-"oh brave heart, courageous and true, you will bushwhack yourself to a wondrous place and the world will be astounded"? Is it Dorothy's warning, or is it Frost's invitation? Thank you, Julie. I'm having fun with this one.

Need to add that to my reading list, thanks!

Love these questions, Shannan!
Hmmm, but what of all those people we laud as “trailblazers”?
Sounds like a great question to journal about....
Interesting. Prompted many thoughts about the trails we take knowingly and often unknowingly.
I always giggle at those kinds of signs on trials.
"Do not walk here"
Never thought about them in the way you just presented, but I like it! Thanks, Julie!
Thanks for reading!
And the billboard that said "BE KIND" . . .
Always a good reminder
I like that addition to the prompt—the trails we take unknowingly.
