A Jog In The Journey Of Life (DMN)

Usually when we finally confess that that we are in crisis mode it seems that we've been there for awhile and it looks like we'll be sticking around for some time yet. What we fail to see of course is that we do not stand still. It may appear that we have been treading water but we have actually been swimming forward with each day that passes and although our strokes are miniscule, they cannot be discounted. We advance with a slow but steady pace not unlike that famous tortoise and we do not stop the forward push until we are out of that place that never was part of our itinerary anyway. We might catch glimpses of the changes in scenery as we go by, but because our progress is sometimes really "relaxed" we do not always see the differences. The only thing to remember is not to try to pick up the pace too much because we need to travel the entire route to be sure we get 'home'again. Hopefully one day if we look back on our planned travel and 'unplanned detours' our detours will simply be remembered as jogs in our journey.
