"A Worn Path"

"She was very old and small and she walked slowly in the dark pine shadows..."  This was a quote describing Old Phoenix from the "Worn Path."  This story is a bit of a funny story.  This is because there is an old lady wandering through the woods by herself not knowing why she was walking in the first place.  As said in the quote, Phoenix was an old, small lady who walked very slowly.  Also, she was a confused lady.  She would forget things very easily.  I am not exactly sure what the theme is in this story, but I feel that it may have to do with the saying: "It's the journey, not the destination that matters."
