Hi Denise

“Not all those who wander are lost” is a line for a poem by JR Tolken ? It’s a call to the hero’s journey.

Reading your post, the first thing that popped in my head was that you where heading into a new beginning and being called to a hero’s journey. Such journey often starts with uncertainty even depression… it is the authentic self crying out from the wilderness if you will. A good place to start such a journey is to wander a little.

I like the word wander as it suggests a “quite” way of looking for one’s next step.  Wandering is still intentional but open to possibilities.  As one wanders one is open to wonder entering in to the flow of a new beginning… vice struggling against the current…  As you wander pay attention to what catches your eye and you will find your way.

Good luck Denise

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes, a fire shall be woken,  A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. -JR Tolken
