Someone told me a while back about desireways, a term coined by a landscaper way back when. Pathways are paved, say, through a campus park, usually forming square shapes in the land like regular roads, meant to bring you cleanly from one place to another. But students in this park may tread a new route, a short cut perhaps, across from one path to another (a desireway.) And more and more students walk this path, because it is faster, though unintended.
Eventually the path gets muddy, and the grass gets ruined, and the park isn't as pretty as it was before. When you walk the desireway your shoes get stained, and your socks get wet. When you walk from it to another path or into a home, the dirt trails you. And maybe you won't get invited back because you make a mess wherever you go.
I could continue on about taking the easy way out. I could talk about not caring enough about much of anything; and of avoidance, always cutting corners in life.
But I'm really quite busy mapping out a new route and patching the grass.

Um, the Spinelli sisters are mine. There's only so much ego massaging to go around.And I love desireways. They're the path of freedom. Architects, planners, build a pretty walkway. But it doesn't work. It gives me hope when we can escape from the penopticon for a moment and walk where we shouldn't because it makes more sense.
It's not the easy way out, it's breaking out of the straightjacket. Don't let them convince you otherwise.
