I have become obsessed with maps.
There is something intimately private about the thoughts you have when you start to study a map. Emotions and memories start playing with dreams and desires, some of which no one knows, but you.
I ask you, when you think of a map, what does it reveal to you? How great is distance it covers? Do memories bubble up to the surface, or are you lost in thought of a place that you have yet to see with your very own eyes?
Excitement, joy, sadness, resentment, fear, longing, or perhaps even love? Your story is in there. If you don’t like the direction you are going, there’s still time to change course and discover somewhere new. But first, you must decide what story your map is whispering to you. Be still. Be quiet. Be aware of what your map is telling you. Are you stuck in the past, or dreaming of the future?
So… how would you fill in the blank below? Share your thoughts below in the comments!
Adventure!!
Yes! Your story is clearly one of adventure- – – an inspiring adventure!
Hmm. Right now, my map will tell a story of struggle. Whether the story has a happy ending or a tragic one, I can’t say yet.
You are an incredible person- I am certain that this struggle is just one ugly chapter of your story.
