Which way to go?

And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course. ~Kahlil Gibran

do you always know which way to go?

which way are we supposed to go?

does anyone know, the right way or wrong way to go?

there isn’t any rule book telling us which way to go.

no guidelines or instructions…

do we follow our hearts, our minds, common sense, what is best for us, for others

…what else do we go by?

Sometimes we take the wrong path, fall and need to start over from another path. Sometimes we need to take charge and take a direction we don’t want to go, and sometimes it hurts like hell! Sometimes we have to pay close attention or else we could miss the direction we need to go…

Sometimes when we are not even looking we are lead in the direction we need to go…sometimes it’s better not to know the answers and just go with the flow…somehow we will find the direction we need to go…

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
”That depends a good deal on where you want to get to”
”I don’t much care where.”
”Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go.”
So long as I get somewhere.”
Oh, you’re sure to do that, if only you walk long enough…”

~Alice and the Cat from Alice in Wonderland

  1. Hi Jen,
    Perhaps there is no one “right” way…. I don’t know, and this is something that often floats through my brain. Life is so interesting…how we have each reached the place we are today, and how that really could be so different with even just the slightest change of course…and something we’ll never know.

    Jen, I deeply appreciate this post today…as it has me thinking more deeply about what this truly means in my life…

  3. Honestly if someone just told me which way to go all the time they would save me a lot of headache :) ! But alas, that is not to be – the beauty of freedom and having choices is just that ….. and we get to make them. I have lived without freedom and was told, at an early age in a different country, where to go, what to do, and the limits of my abilities to say or do certain things – and I prefer the vast freedom to do as I please, to be responsible for my actions, and to learn from my own mistakes. THANK YOU!
