Blazing means fire. Fire is symbolic of transformation. Something gets ignited and changes happen. The trail represents the path that we're on.
Joseph Campbell said this, "If you can see your path laid out for you, in front of you step by step, then you know it's not your path. Your own path that you make is with every step you take. That's why it's your path."
The key to hearing our calling is paying attention to what is going on in our lives. To be still and know that I am God. To be still and hear that inner voice.
