"If we are facing in the right direction,
all we have to do is keep on walking."
Zen Proverb
We have all experienced the sense of walking in the right direction, only to find ourselves knee deep in a swamp or neck deep in a tidal wave. So we wash our lovely selves off and begin again. With our face towards the sun, the shadow at our back, we walk until our feet connect with our personal path.
Finding our path may take us a life time of wandering or it may seem like we have always been walking in the same direction. Our body may yearn to rest and our mind may beg to stop, but our heart keeps beating, instilling a rhythm within our core. The journey continues.
There are those who seem to have an easier time and perhaps it is due to their single mindedness; while others, like ourselves, have wandered off the beaten path. It seems the detours take a toll, but they also broaden our sense of self and our depth of understanding. Keep moving forward until we feel at home at an unexpected destination.
