Today, the mind and spirit touch and the terrain becomes clearer. If you feel like you’ve been in an elaborate and almost incomprehensible maze, that is not wrong. Only it’s a maze that shifts as we move through it, where what was once a dead-end now opens up to a new pathway, and a reliable corridor now goes nowhere.

Alone, we may feel condemned to wander pointlessly in a puzzle designed not to be solved. But with the clarity each of us brings to our little portion, if we could put all of those individual maps together, we’d have a glimpse of the whole and the path through.

This is the ongoing work, to map and illuminate our portion of the maze, to tell others what we’ve learned and listen to what they’ve learned. Even if you cannot trust another to save you, you might learn something useful if you listen.
