The line "Does this path have a heart?"

[seeker5]

I've been reading the book "Love" by Leo Buscaglia the past few days. Last night, I came across a paragraph where he was quoting the book "The Teaching of Don Juan" by Carlos Casteneda:

Your decision to keep on the path or to leave it must be free of fear or ambition. I warn you! Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask ourself, and you alone, one question. . . It is this . . . Does this path have a heart? All paths are the same; they lead nowhere. There are paths going through the brush, or into the brush. Does this path have a heart is the question.

It was kind of exciting for me to see that big question I first saw Steve posed in his book being used elsewhere. Of course those books were written way before Steve's book was written, so I did wonder naturally if Steve had read those books and gotten the idea for it from them, or if it came to him naturally.

i thought there was a quote of that in the book
