Another feature of yesterday’s walk was the number of times we struggled to find a footpath. Now I’m no Ray Mears, but I’m not bad at navigation; added to which I had a handy GPS and map. Often we would be standing within 20 yards or so of where the path was meant to be and we could see nothing but vegetation. As I explained yesterday, it was pretty over grown, but in addition to that, often shifting your view point by even a few feet made all the difference.

I wonder how often in life, if we just shifted our viewpoint a little bit suddenly we would see our paths? How often don’t we see the path for the trees?
