Sign Posts

I suppose I would have preferred more sign posts along the way. I don't know why. There's a certain romance and chutzpah in charting one's own path. There are probably as many foolish assumptions in the maps drawn up by others as there is wisdom. Too many are certain they know the destination, are familiar with the terrain, or can show the rest of us the way. Not enough are exploring the complexities, reexamining the obvious, or searching for treasures in the sand.
Maybe a sign post or two would remind me that I am not alone in my quest. Assure me that I'm not merely lost or blazing a path into oblivion, because someone has been this way before and also felt it was worth proceeding further.
