Dubious Directions
Asking for directions in the Australian outback is often a chancy business. There was once a grey nomad (retiree towing a caravan) who asked a farmer for directions to Goombungee.
“Take this road here for about two kilometres and turn left at the hollow log. You keep going for about three more kilometres and you’ll come to Riley’s dam. Turn left again. About four kilometres down the track you’ll come to a big sign advertising sheep-dip. Turn left there and keep going.”
“And that’ll get me to Goombungee, will it?”
“No. It’ll get you back here. If I give you all the directions at once it’ll only confuse you.”
BTW. Have you seen our page on Spiritual Direction?
