Where You Stand

Accept indeterminacy as a principle, and you see your life in a new light, as a series of seemingly unrelated jewel-like stories within a dazzling setting of change and transformation. Recognize that you don’t know where you stand, and you will begin to watch where you put your feet. That’s when the path appears.

    Thanks, Euan. That’s a path leading down to the Pacific Ocean. I took it somewhere along Highway 1 back in 2005.
