Many miles are travelled. Some of those miles are plain sailing; others seem to have a bit of a sting in the tail.

Sometimes paths venture off in unusual ways, yet others move from A to B seamlessly. 

The longer way around provides more learning opportunities… more people to meet… more sights to see. And, occasionally, more things to be stung by.

The short, direct journeys get us to our destination quicker, but leave us hungry for what we want.

Enjoy every journey, long or short, and notice the stings, for they too provide lessons.
