Finding our direction may take miles, or

days or years. Detours, disruptions and 

distractions, no matter how purposeful or

meaningful as they may be, are certain to

prolong our progress. It takes time to know.

The journey is involved. Each step, or stop,

of the path allows reflection. We are guided 

mainly by instinct or instruments, our moral 

compass not often strong. Finding our true

destination will take days and years. Or longer.
