On the way somewhere




Maybe there is something to be
said about looking up for
advice





















Could a smiling cat lead give you bad advice.




*
Alice wanted to go somewhere, in Alice in Wonderland, and it sooner or later came to a decision about a “fork in the road”.
*
She looked up and a Cheshire Cat was in the
tree. Seems this cat is a fictional cat just meant for Alice in Wonderland. The Cat smiles a lot. Once for example it smiled and disappeared slowing until nothing was left. Alice said on seeing it that
she often had seen a cat grin
but never a grin without a cat.
I suppose the sight of a grin just hanging there was interesting. Course this Cat and a lot of what happens to Alice has some meaning for life, so the grin and the cat may have a lesson for us, but the way the cat answered her question at this fork in the road is more interesting right now. She asked the cat regarding the two roads, 'which one should I take?' s 'Where do you want to go? responded the Cheshire cat who was sitting in a tree.. I don't know, Alice answered. Then, said the cat, it doesn't matter.”So what to do if the Cheshire Cat tells you it does not matter. First off don’t blame him if your not sure where to go. Even so what to do. Think about where you don’t want to go may not be the best choice since we sort of wind up going where our thoughts take us. Think about where we would like to go. Might be a trail that will take us there if we think about it enough.

Alex likes to read Through the Looking Glass. J.K. Rowling has several Lewis Carroll references woven in the Harry Potter books.
