The Cheshire Cat



If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Wise observation by Lewis Carroll. The Cheshire cat advised something like it to Alice. So, if you don't know or care where you are going, then take any road at all. They all get there. Ah, but the next trick is to know when you get there. Carroll said you would know when you get there because the road would end. So simple.

I can't help thinking that the world is in Wonderland with Alice. It is definitely going somewhere and we will definitely know when we get there (the end). My 80-something year old grandmother by marriage was dying of cancer and said that she didn't much mind the dying, it was the approach road she was worried about. This all fits together somehow. Curiouser and curiouser. And, we might not get any older, either.
