I chose the long, tattered oriental hall rug from the estate when my great grandfather passed away. I had many childhood memories with him that I treasure and the rug is long like a textured path. My mother tells me I learned to crawl on it.. I like to think I began my exploratory personality then. Although sometimes I think the highest level of path exploration I get daily is digging through the toys strewn about on the floor of the boys room!

What were they really thinking?" When you asked that of the people who once went through your old house, it really resonated with me. I have recently found myself thinking that about the people I knew or met as a child, and I guess it's just a sign of growing up and realizing the complexities of people, and realizing that you are now one of those very adults, and that it's not just as simple as Adults vs. Children. “What were they really like? What were they really thinking?”

It's so true, the idea that in some way their finger prints are still there. The people that we love may be gone, but they still echo a little in each of us. The path is beautiful!

I'm not surprised you don't want to write about it much, it's personal. That said, if you ever wanted to write a book...it would make a compelling story. Just saying' Is "write a book" on your list? xox --Tara I love seeing this, Laura, after hearing your story–how magical!

I spent hours daydreaming about what living in my home would have been like for the folks who created the brick path that time had all but erased. I was tempted to dig up the rest of the yard to find more treasure, but thankfully I soon added a dog to our family that pretty much took care of that chore for me. :) I had the same experience (and experienced the same joy!) when I discovered the treasure of a buried pathway in the yard of my first home…what an imagination sparker!
