Path
Capitalized spiritual journey
A path is a way or track for traveling, typically narrower than a road and often unpaved: a forest path, a bike path.
The word extends to any route or course of movement: the path of a hurricane, a flight path.
Figuratively, path describes a course of action or way of life: career path, the path to success.
In computing, a path specifies a file's location within a directory structure.
