"In spite of the ghostly fireflies that kept me company in the bushes along the trail, I felt I was getting along quite well until I came to a place where several trails met. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong one and had to return. I then made another ill choice and would have continued in my error had I not met a couple of mozos [hired hands] who, when I asked directions, corrected me. The fireflies continued to give me a queer sensation up and down my spine, and as I was getting nearer to the place where I had made my wrong trail choice, I ran into a bunch of drunks. One of them carried a shotgun and when he spotted me, stepped up in front of me and demanded to know where I was going. I simply stepped to one side and without a word continued on my way."

- William Cameron Townsend, A Thousand Trails

What a life lesson to learn! Sometimes I get lost. Sometimes I have to stop and ask for directions. Sometimes I have to stand to be corrected. And sometimes, all I need to do is to step aside to avoid an obstacle.
