Think of life as a transect

What walking transects in the Terai taught me?

While walking a box transect and you cannot find the next mark or you are lost, it is most likely that you have reached the corner. It is not a dead end. There is no reason to get anxious. One just has to turn by 90 degrees to find the way again.

Every time I feel I have reached a dead end in life, I remind myself that the guiding mark is just a 90 degree turn away. The path is still there, just around the corner.
