Advice

Please do not stumble along the uneven path
i have trodden upon.

i do not claim to have any secret knowledge 
insight or gifts
gleaned from my sojourns,
they are always laid bare or barely laid,
like the greatest of plans...

However, i can't endorse the paths 
that are
well worn
because
I haven't
walked
them.

It is only common knowledge, 
at least to me,
that the journeys worth their salt
involve taking
the greatest care
the most time
and
all the effort
that you can gather

and you will only
garner
the reward of
the experience.
