Now here's the dilemma: once you get there, how do you know it's the right place? Even if there are signs (and sometimes they are lacking), they may be wrong, or misleading, or just misinterpreted. If you can't even trust the signs, how do you know when you've reached the right place?
Are the fruit trees in flower? Does crystal ice coat bare branches? Is the cardinal staking his claim to all that he can see?
Does a mossy knoll beckon you to sit beside a creek bed lined with water-smoothed stones? Does light dapple through trees just the way you want it to? Do cows stand together facing you, grazing, brown eyes gazing?
Listen! Can you hear the corn grow? The call of coyote, the yip of fox? Do the massed pebbles at the edge of the water chitter as a wave recedes?
If any of these pertain, it is time to trust. These clues announce that you have arrived at the right place.
