Shortcuts are a lie. Yes, we can and often do shorten our paths. Yet we arrive at our destinations ill prepared to be there. When we exchange growth for convenience much is missed along the way.
 "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." 
    I've taken many shortcuts in my life. Physical and Spiritual. This blog is a chronicle of my journey down a different path, one less taken, the long way.
