How often I found where I should be going only by setting
out for somewhere else. R. Buckminster Fuller
I
once heard someone, a sailor I’m sure, say that it was much easier to turn a
ship around at sea than in dry dock. It’s also true about almost anything, it’s
easier to change the direction of something that is moving than to get
something started moving. That sounds a little like a Newtonian law but I’ll
save physics for another time. I know for me, if I am doing something, if I
have a goal I am working towards, I am usually open to possible new directions
and influences. Many times I have thought I was to be doing one thing and it
turned out to be something altogether different. I recently started a meeting.
I figured a few of us, six or so, would get together and talk about a book. The
first meeting was eight of us. The second was sixteen. Obviously, there were
bigger plans. I’m getting better at letting go of outcomes.
