This isn't the prettiest path. It leads downhill into the creek, and it's rough, studded with rocks and ridged with muddy footsteps, The first plants of spring are just coming up, and the shrubs and trees along it are just sending out their first tiny leaves, so they don't provide much beauty in the way of scenery.
So why did I pick this photo? As far as I'm concerned, the path's unattractiveness is the point Our path through life often seems like it's leading us downhill through some ugly real estate. The way is hard. We have to watch our step, and pick ourselves up when we stumble. But if we keep moving, and as long as we've picked the right path with the right destination at the end, our efforts will be rewarded.
Let's face it, if the right spiritual destination is at the end of the path, it's often the harder road to travel, with fewer pretty distractions along the way. But that end point? Definitely worth the trip.
