Measured



S
teps forward are sometimes 
absolutely the most difficult things ~ like walking in a swamp without knowing ~ for sure ~ where to step safely.

Whether at a doorstep or in a jungle, curiosity about next steps in life plans, embraced by respectful courage, softens and measures one’s pace.



“Respect for ourselves guides our morals, 
respect for others guides our manners.”
~ Laurence Sterne

The picture of the “steps” is great - evidently some of the credit for your writing is attached to your observant eye. Was this one for the blog or one just waiting to be used.

Thank you. This photo of a grand old house several blocks from my place in Victoria. I've cropped and used pieces of it in the past. Mostly it is just waiting to be used.
