One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. “Which road do I take?” she asked. His response was a question: “Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
I read that in the book “8th Habit,” the chapter on Pathfinding.
My brother and I both noticed how the cat isn’t concerned where Alice is going, is simply asking.
As I tentatively join in conversation with my sister, I am like the cat, wondering where it is she wants to go.
I fact my last message included that paragraph and the following simple questions, “Do you know what you want in your life?”
I took the road less traveled.
Which road are you interested in?
I am Like the Cat in the tree, if you don't know where you want to go, I can't tell you which road to take.
It can’t matter enough to me which road you take or which one you don’t travel, it is and always has been up to you.
My preferences are not factored in.
I guess before we head out or pack our bags we have to know which way we are heading.
Where is it you are wanting to go?
Do we know?
Did we come with a blueprint?
How do we know we are on the right path?
How many forks are there?
I heard on a movie last night that there are really only a handful of meaningful days in our lives, days that will make all the difference in our lives.
They could also be called pivotal moments.
Some days hold forks in the road, and depending upon where it is you are heading, you will pick one.
May you hear your voice as you approach those forks, may you have the courage to step boldly and with purpose, may you know where it is you want to go!
