Here we go, then&#8230; the Introduction:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Let\u2019s say that you and I<\/strong> have finished the day\u2019s work and we\u2019re headed home. Our cars are right next to one another in the parking lot, so we have paused there, on this beautiful spring day, talking a bit before we go.<\/p>\n<p>Our attention is drawn to an elderly man on the corner. He is standing almost into the traffic, looking one way, then the other. He takes a few steps south, but then turns back north. Concerned, we go over to see if there\u2019s something we can do for him. The conversation goes like this\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMay we help you, sir?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGot me,\u201d says the old timer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere are you headed?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, what are you up to in the first place? What are you trying to do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t tell you,\u201d he mumbles, shaking his head, \u201cI\u2019m really not sure about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSir, who are you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With tears in his eyes, he whispers, \u201cI wish I knew what to say, but I can\u2019t remember much of anything at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think we should do? We couldn\u2019t just walk away and leave him there. We would have to help him, wouldn\u2019t we? After all, the chances that the poor guy would end up getting run over by a truck seem pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>The old man needs clarity and direction, doesn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n<p><em>So do we. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Stop and think for a moment: How is your own grip on who you are and where you want to go?
