A sidewalk in town had some chalk messages. The “One Way” arrow caught my eye. Pointing in the opposite direction was a second arrow labeled “Another Way”.

Turns out, this pairing is not too uncommon for stock photos and t-shirts. But I do like the thoughts it prompts.

Too often — outside of driving — we look for one-way signs. The one right way to do things. The exemplar.

But mostly, what we see is just one way. Not the one way … that is, the only way. Just a way.

So our invitation is to honor that way, and then — if we want — to seek out other ways. To explore what has yet to be charted, and to find our own way.
