Direction...

Organised to meet Brian after work for dinner. He led the way – only thing is, he didn’t know the way…so after walking for what seemed like forever, and covering half the city, I came to a complete stop and suggested he ask for directions...

The way I see it: If you’re lost, you’re lost. If you don’t know the way, you don’t know the way. Theres nothing wrong. Just ask for directions – but noooo, its such a guy thing to just keep going...and going...and going!

Anyway, FINALLY arrived (ok so it wasn’t actually THAT bad – warm night, no rain, helpful people!), ordered, ate, and conversation turned "D&M". It was kinda funny though coz I’ve always thought that if conversation turns that way, then it turns that way, and if it doesn’t, then it doesn’t – you just go with the flow! But we were sitting there deciding whether we wanted to "go there!" That was a first!

Anyway, so we "went there", to the "D&M" side, and it was pretty amazing. In hindsight, I think it was God-ordained! Not only because of the fact that I felt like I was being read, and more than that, being read by almost the last person I ever thought I would be read by; or the encouragement; or the sharing; or putting-things-into-perspective; or the bluntness and laughs of saying things straight out; or the reminders of events passed over the years – but also because of the gentle stirring and reassurance that it would all be ok and I was headed in the right direction...
