I love the colours you chose for your compass Jen. It seems to have the sun at it's centre. Your words about a compass remind me to try to stay close to God. Keep his words in my heart to guide me. I can't get lost if I remember them. One of my favourite instructions He gave to us is the golden rule, 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'. It sounds simple but it's profound and harder to live than to say. But I think this rule could fix the complex problems of this old world, don't you? Barbara
Your compass looks very simple and real, Jen. I like it. I used to go for a long walk in the woods with John and always had a compass with us because it is so easy to get lost in the wilderness. I think it goes the same way as having a moral compass to navigate our lives too. I think the hardest part to practice a good life is we tend to forgetting why we are and losing the focus on God and Love. Because there are so much distraction out there, the unnecessary glitter! The noise without meaning or purpose. By keeping this blog, I really believe you are keeping me on the right track, Jen. You encourage me to see beyond what my eyes could see and listen to deeper sound than what ears could hear. Thank you for keep writing on your blog.
A simple note for Owen, "Thank you" for helping me with the sliding door!
Good comment Jen, compasses through the ages have been extremely important to all types of navigation they assist greatly with celestial navigation techniques to calculate latitude and longitude and therefore know where you are when i was flying helicopters as a young man your age it was my primary form of navigation as this was well before the age of google maps one of the problems in the far north was compass accuracy because deviations got very large between magnetic north and the north pole and you needed to navigate with a thumb firmly on your map to follow every little lake and stream latterly your grand dad and and me needed to use careful compass headings to plot time and distance on a calculated compass heading to go where we wanted without getting lost and for the most part we were pretty good at it unless it was zero zero in fog in which case we stayed put uncle nick
