Let's be honest:

metaphors are everywhere. 

Sometimes nature has a way of illustrating the lesson you did not know you needed. 

Dear friends, no matter how this deer's journey might resonate with you—whether on a continuum between inviting change or overcoming an idée fixe or choosing retreat—they're all going somewhere. Keep going. 

How else do we find our way?

  4. In this house, the motto comes from the great Jiminy Cricket as he sings to Pinocchio: If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.

  6. That's one deer track I've never seen, and my yard's a deer highway. It's a message, Dave, a message!

  7. Maybe he had vertigo like me. I hope he got to where he wanted to go.

  8. I guess that's the deer equivalent of doing donuts in the parking lot.

    1. Is it even winter if you can't do at least one donut in the parking lot?

  9. ...keep putting one foot in front of the other.

  10. It makes you wonder if the deer was there before or after the other footprints. Sometimes it’s best not to cross paths. :)

  11. It reminds me that there's a difference between contentment (having what we need) and complacency (feeling smug about the status quo without concern for tomorrow). In the winter, that deer has to keep moving to look for things to eat!
