Continuing on the Journey, Reflections on Necessary Detours

Good Evening Dear Readers,

I must apologize for being so so silent for many months again, the journey has been arduous and my lady so preoccupied. She is writing again and becomes lost sometimes in a world beyond the one she lives in. Always hopeful she is and I wonder sometimes how she keeps going, building what she wants to build in life and trying to enjoy the moment. there have been many detours of late and she now feels that she must encourage me to pick up the pace and make up for lost time. Grudgingly, I accede to her wishes and try my best to keep her in her seat while I pick up speed. I caution her to go slow, to allow life to unfold, ideas have to coalesce and time must soften the edges of the ideas so they become more constructive. This is such a difficult concept for my lady and others to master it seems–my lady needs to stop rushing through her life as if there is a race to be won. Racing through life is an illusion that many people get caught up in so they can attempt to dull the boredom or dissatisfaction that occurs when they are less satisfied with their progress to date, whether it be in their personal or professional life. At least that is what I have noticed. When a person realizes that the detours were necessary many times and all a part of the journey, only then does the life one is leading at the moment begin to make sense and a person can concentrate on experiencing the joy of the moment at any given time. So, with that said, I am happy to have my lady back behind the wheel and moving forward again in the right direction. Please stay tuned for upcoming messages from the road!
