I have never found that to be true though. As you write, we must simply feel our way along the path.<BR/><BR/>Lorena,<BR/>That's the trick in life.

But while reading your post I had an aha-moment. I should try all the directions one by one, and settle for the one that feels good. Also, I shouldn't tire of trying the multitude of directions until I find one that will do--for a while at least--until the whirlpool start moving again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-20179668125482757902009-03-31T09:10:00.000-07:002009-03-31T09:10:00.000-07:00I find this topic fascinating.

"How, then, shall we live?"<BR/><BR/>Of course, there is no single answer, for their is not single path. Ever day, every minute is different, and you ultimately just have to "feel" your way along. Everyday is practice.Cecilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01330240120689925498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10694316.post-58633589892638701582009-03-31T03:44:00.000-07:002009-03-31T03:44:00.000-07:00I don't like the "we have all the answers" type so...I don't like the "we have all the answers" type solutions of faith, religion or self-help ..
