Every detour is a reminder

I am blessed to have many skills but navigation isn't one of them! But, I do learn a bit more every time I get lost somewhere.

Navigation is important. If we don't know where we are, we can't find our way back to safety or know if the new horizon is the correct path for our souls.

Good luck to us all as we navigate our lives. 

Every detour is a reminder

I've travelled so many winding roads
Some have been lanes; some have been highways
But every single one has taught me something
About how important it is to navigate our landscape

Nothing is wasted effort
Even if we as humans think it so
Every detour is a reminder
To stay calm and focussed under pressure

As we navigate our lives
It's important to be clear on where we are
Where we want to be
And if we should be following a specific arc

There's safety in places that we know
And the horizon is often daunting
But if we're clear on our soul's purpose
Our journey will not be faulted

So, focus on your soul's calling
Focus on your intuition and guidance
And as you stumble and glide and shimmy
May you remain forever excited
