\u201cAll paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are,\u201d Pablo Neruda observed in his soulful Nobel Prize acceptance speech<\/a>. But paths are more than metaphors \u2014 they do lead places and, along the way, do reveal us to ourselves in ways inconceivable at the outset, unattainable at home.<\/p>\n
