The idea of wilderness as a metaphor intrigues me deeply. It speaks to the journey that we take when we encounter things that are unknown, untamed, and uncontrollable. For some, the wilderness is a place to be conquered and tamed, while for others, it is a place to be explored and enjoyed. As a leadership coach, I see the wilderness as a challenging yet rewarding place to be. It is where we can learn valuable lessons about ourselves and the world around us. The journey through the wilderness is not always easy, but it is worth it. It teaches us about resilience, flexibility, and adaptability. As we meditate and journal this week, let us embrace the wilderness as a place of growth and discovery, rather than a place of fear and uncertainty. Let us find the beauty, mystery, and uncertainty in the meandering path, and enjoy the journey.
