Making Choices: Paths in Central Australia

No matter how isolated the path is in life, we should never walk alone for too long. The paths of Central Australia cut through the landscape, leading to different destinations. The choice of where to go is ours. As long as we keep walking, we draw closer to the destination.

Paths can represent different choices. Our decisions are not always informed. Sometimes they are forced by circumstances. Other times, they are the results of pressure and are rushed. Every now and then, we have the luxury of moving only after careful consideration of all the different options. And yet, despite our best intentions, the path might still be difficult.
