On getting lost and being found

The ‘pathless path’ is the way of every seeker.

There will be obstacles: thorny vines that snag you; footing that is rocky and steep, boggy ground that grabs hold of your boot and won’t let go. Your feet will get muddy. The wind will whip and slap. The way forward will be veiled from your eyes. There will be dead-ends and not-what-you-thoughts and you will have to retrace your steps.

But every now and then, you will catch a glimpse of where you want to go, though you can not see the way clearly. Though the road is rough and uncertain, trust that you are never unaccompanied on your path.

You do not walk alone.
