Like a life, a journey assumes a shape and a meaning that are only
clear afterward, and like a journey, a life requires that you learn
to let go of the plan when the actuality departs from it, to embrace
what's arriving, let go of what's departing,
to move forward and not get stuck.
~ Rebecca Solnit

I think it is a real challenge to get the hang of embracing what comes from walking a path that was not clearly what i had in mind.
