Recently I have been looking for fellow travelers on the road less traveled. Its a road marked by waypoints - some are instantly recognisable as significant markers, others less so. Much depends on how the points on the road are received as either opportunity, pleasant surprises, obstacles which cannot be passed or just plain roadblocks. Travellers don't always recognise each other on this road. They are too busy and focusing on their own personal objective. If they do its because in common with others the knowledge and understanding about a shared destination is more sustained. But these travelers strive to reach a point where there is even more intuition and an ever present ability to let go of the troubles behind them. What is in the past is in the past. Ahead, stretching out before all of us is the adventure and excitement of the open road. Undoubtedly there were waypoints we could have interpreted better and followed more directly in the past. We may wish, with the knowledge we have now, that we did in fact take an entirely different route. Now the previous points call to us and remind us when similar bends and junctions appear that the choices we make are entirely ours and ours alone. No body can direct us in a way we don't want to go. The trick is to spot the fellow traveler who can genuinely guide us vs the Dick Turpins or those who remain lost on the road, just as we were before...
