Rocks don’t need maps. It’s not that rocks don’t experience movement; they simply don’t experience a choice in manner or direction. Wind, water, the whim of some child, or adult with too much time on its hands, who wants to see how many times a stone will skip across the pond are a rock’s major modes of transportation. All requiring no pre-flight plan. And it turns out that Simon & Garfunkel were right.
I am a rock.
Lately, it seems the Focus is gathering dust in the garage while I’m bandied about by wind, water and the whims of children and adults with too much time on their hands. Even hungers provide little inspiration or motivation. Reason appeared the other day, and was promptly shown the door.
Piloting this ship is all about weathering the storms. This isn’t a bad thing, mind you. If you dislike adventure you’re on the wrong ride. The tide is only an issue if you allow it. Just be happy on whatever beach you happen to wash up.
So where to next? Beats me…I don’t have a map.
One of the things I like about my faith, Pin, is that I believe I know where I am going and have a guidebook to keep me on the right path.
Thought provoking post.

I'm more of a holistic rock, and I'm truly glad that works for you, FF&F.
Thanks.

Philosophically and serendipitously speaking, Simon WAS a rock.
Lyrically speaking, though, I hope you're feeling no pain.
Plainly speaking, tell the kids not to skip you across the pond!
Cheers,
Mitch

"I Am A Rock" has been rolling around in my little brain case all week, because I couldn't remember who recorded it. Thanks, my mental anguish for the week is ended. Now, a little advice from an elder...when I don't have a map, I take a nap! It is true that you awaken embroiled in the same imbroglio, but you can then say, "Sorry, I missed that! I was so tired from earning a living to meet the vague hopes and mean desires of this troop of...uh.....uh...(Bite your tongue)....loved ones that I just
went to Nodland to have more energy to deal with your all-consuming intractabilities and diffuse machinations! They will walk away and not bother you for maybe 15-20 minutes.
But hey! That's 15-20 golden moments to gather the tattered ends of thought and have a cool one. My best. Count Sneaky

Glad I could be of service. I must have sensed your dilemma.
Good advice, and I hope your recovery is still going well.

I'm glad Reason is periodically checking in at least! I enjoy adventure, but I wish Reason would visit here more often! I don't think he likes the cold!
