Is a signpost helpful if the pole it is mounted upon has been turned around?
How do you know which way is…which way?
It is best to follow signs only when you need them, or choose to do so, and it is most valuable that sometimes you just go…that way, over there, yes down that lane.
A planned route may produce the good result of helping you reach an expected destination, but it will never provide the delight of surprise and discovery.
Happy directions!
