Sometimes you find yourself on a path and you have no idea how you got there. Is this the beginning, the middle or the end? There’s no map. It isn’t a path you chose, it was chosen for you. You don’t know the length, topography, the fitness required to complete it…hell you don’t know the destination and yet, here you are.
There are no trail markers to assist, no consistent guide. You observe, look for tripping hazards, avoid the pitfalls when you see them. You try to adapt to the ever changing conditions, not knowing how long you will be here or where it ends. You have to adapt, try and enjoy the path when you can, take deep breaths, look around, it feels lonely. You are isolated, afraid, desperate. Every so often you hear a friendly voice nudging you along…mostly though, you are on your own and you need to make peace with that.
Life.

I’m just going to stick with saying I’m not lost, I’m exploring.

Reminds me of a T-shirt I got for my husband last Father’s Day – Not All Who Wonder Are Lost (Not All Who Wander Are Lost may refer to: “Not all those who wander are lost”, a line from the poem “All that is gold does not glitter”, written by J. R. R. Tolkien for The Lord of the Rings.)

I rarely feel I’m on my own, divine intervention and all. I may not know what lies ahead, but I drive on and I’m enjoying the journey.

Anyone that thinks they know what lies ahead is delusional. And solid point regarding divine intervention.
