Wandering
A path from A to B, planned, scheduled and typically known. That’s the way I navigated through most of my life. I’m old enough to remember navigating before we had those handy little devices telling us exactly where to turn. Back then we had the foldable kind of navigation that you kept stuffed in the…

Permission
