Letter 4462

I studied a map of my area last night, preparing to travel over the mountain and down into the next valley. I wanted to remind myself of the route.
Now, on the way, I see only a little behind me and a little ahead, to the next turning. The path snakes up.
I felt so confident with my map, and now so uncertain on the way.
❖
The map is not the terrain. I could see only the shape of the path, and not its reality.
Let me enjoy my limited view.
Consider:
Can I accept and enjoy my limited view today?
