" the truth is, of course, that we can always trust the soul to pilot our craft wisely and to know, like a migrating swallow, the true direction of our journey, even if that direction is one the ego might not like or approve. After all, only soul has the proper map. The map we carry around in the pockets of our everyday minds is but a blurred photocopy of one tiny seciton, so how could we possibly presume to navigate from that?"
Every now and then I am brought up short by someone writing words that have been rolling around in my consciousness for a time. This quote is from a book called "Elderwoman" given to me last year by Susan. I have been having mental conversations with myself and others lately about life and love and choices and how we get from here to there. Trying to explain this inner sense that I am where I need to be, that what is put in front of me is not an accident, and that I turn to that thing during times in my life when I might be casting around looking for other things. I turn to what is there. It is because of this very belief, that my Soul knows and can see the map even if I can't. I've learned to trust that. It's fun to find something like this on a gray Saturday morning when I am feeling a bit disconnected.
