The unseen path

I was out walking today and fascinated by how often,even when you were in the right place and very close, you still couldn’t make out where the path goes, and as someone with a love of metaphors, it occurred to me that this often happens in real life too.  How often do we feel that we can’t see our way forward when it turns out that the thing we are seeking is right in front of us?  Sometimes you just have to change our perspective a little bit, in order to find it.  As someone who does coaching sometimes I can see someone’s way forward, but until they can too, there is no progress.

So a little thought for those of you/us who perhaps are feeling a little lost, maybe what you need is hiding in plain sight and you just need to shift your perspective to spot it?  I hope so!

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”   Buddha
