Not all who wander are lost

There comes a time in our lives when we are old enough and been given the freedom to do our own thing. We walk around aimlessly, not certain of what we are looking for but something draws us to this secret place we find ourselves in. We seek our identity as we wander through our thoughts, trying new things as a way to find out who we are and what the purpose is of us being here. Many influences creep into our lives as we look for the answers to the many questions we have, we are not lost we are just wandering through the possibilities of life trying to find the true meaning to our existence.

Anne Sophie Swetchine says: “In this world of change, nothing which comes stays, and nothing which goes is lost.” The road less travelled may be a hard one but we all have to face it at some point. The opportunities we didn’t take are not lost but new ones arise as we wander through life. We follow the footprints left in the sand by those who have gone before us, who also found themselves wandering but were never lost because the grass is greener on the other side and there is always a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

  1. Perhaps all who wander are going nowhere in particular and any road will take them there (Dr Crombie)Even if it is to look for their identity.

  2. To wander is to explore and to identify your place in this universe, you first have to wander to know where you should be.
