In Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice finds herself coming to a crossroads with two paths before her, each stretching onward but in opposite directions. She is confronted by the Cheshire Cat, of whom Alice asks, “Which path shall I take?”The cat answers, “That depends where you want to go. If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn’t really matter which path you take.”
Unlike Alice, each of us knows where he or she wants to go. It does matter which way we go, for the path we follow in this life surely leads to the path we shall follow in the next.
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:6

ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote! I have never read Alice in Wonderland and keep thinking I should. This post adds to my list of reasons to do so.
