  • Why Zig When You Can Zag 💃🏼 Going through my 500+ photos restrainedly taken because I was running out of camera battery power on this day in Norway, and saw this path carved into the mountain, shot from being on the famous Flam Railway. I've been having a few conversations lately with people about paths and journeys. Now I'm not the type that always goes where everyone is going, so often end up wondering where the hell I am, with nothing familiar around 😂 So I rely on signs to show me the way, and I see my yoga teacher posting about difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations, then my spiritual teacher saying he can read the future. "The future is.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
... Uncertain." 😂 Therefore, I still have no answer, but to just keep walking, and walking, and carving my own path. Btw!! I have a poll on my IG Stories, would love to see what you vote for! 😘 #PetiteWanderessInNorway ---------------------------------------
