077/499 … following life’s Leaders (09/24/08)
Our first sign of the “Tissue Bandit” …
I at first was critical of whoever was littering the Path with these sneeze-catchers, until I realized after a time that they were always perfectly clean and always left in places where one might otherwise stray from the Path. Mom was even saved once from getting lost by seeing a tissue ahead of her on the trail. As such, I came to remember that life’s “bandits” are often actually its “saviors” — and that seeing the difference between the two is only a question of attitude.
