Maps

Letter 4361

There is a map of the pathways around the village and up the mountain. The map tells which way one might walk to reach a destination.

From the map, I do not know where I will encounter vistas of beauty, o’erhung trees and bowers, families of deer grazing.

The map is not the place.

❖

Let me go forth, Lord, and walk, and experience what the day will bring!

Consider:

Can I set aside my desire for a map?
