✨🌑LOST IN THE WILDERNESS PT. 3🌑✨ Would a sat nav work in the middle of park land, or would I end up meeting obstacles where it led me? It was worth a try. While I preferred to travel in the dark to keep my own presence as quiet as possible, I compromised as the sat nav seemed to find an established path in what had become a wilderness. “Walk west” declared my phone and I nearly leaped out of my skin. No stealth left! 😂 I turned the volume down and eventually gave in to turning my phone torch on as the path led me into a corridor of trees that shut out the sky. This path, it told me, would take ten minutes to lead me home. It seemed a bit much. I knew it was faster to cut across but I wasn’t sure where I was. I was striding now. I tried not to think about how angry my son would be at my recklessness. The shoulder-soldier would laugh at me and ask if I needed him to send the paras. Then quite suddenly to my left, I recognised a row of fir trees. I knew my way. I switched off sat nav and torch and navigated the rest of the way back in the dark. In a couple of minutes I was back on the road. . It is possible to get lost a few feet from your own doorstep. But any path will get you somewhere from which you can work out a way home. I wonder at the significance of how this physical circumstance reflects my inner state. I wasn’t afraid, just anxious not to worry my son. When I hurry back from the wilderness, it is always and only for you. Otherwise I would be in the desert for a very long time. #shashaspiritledlife #proudmum #lostinspace #lostinthewilderness #photographersofinstagram #getlost #findyourself #onlyforyou #staygrounded #writersofinstagram #prose https://www.instagram.com/p/B4DfwQSn8OI/?igshid=p0izywfcwq8l
