On Knowing People Who Blaze (Seeing the Trees Through the Forest)

We, and most the people we know, are "blazers."  We find seeds of logic in the thread and we accept this priority/gift! 

To blaze means:  1) to leave a path (trail) marker by chipping bark off a tree, 2) to make public or conspicuous, 3) to flare up, 4) to be brilliant or resplendent, 5) a dazzling display or a sudden outburst, or 6) to lead in direction or activity.   AOL Research & Learn: Dictionary.

Each individual has his or her own forest path, life's journey, or bold adventure for which we attach the concept of markers.  Markers are left at intersections; they are the maps.  Often, we leave markers so we may be better able to choose which direction our self, other parts, or the core might hope or need to lead from, next follow, or stay clear of. 

With others we find these similar testaments of faith.  The computer people build emails, jounals, and websites with helpful links.  Our friends convey to us briefly, "off to launder the socks!" or "if it doesn't rain, i'll be working on the car!"  The boys leave the message, "We love you Mom, but need to get back to the game!"  Our boss says, "after you get settled, I'll need to talk to you!"  And our therapist reminds us, "I'll see you again on Monday!"  Priorities of time and nature are set by people, communities, and God.  

Being or knowing a blazer is as inspirational as tracing a twisting river, stream, or brook.  We work, rest, nourish, or play.  Kahlil Gibran writes, "... keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.  For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession..."
