Know the Map, Walk the Walk....

There is a difference between
knowing the walk and walking the walk. 

What is the use of a map when you are already in the place? 
Perhaps the map is a souvenir from your past journeys

and adventures through the inner world?
We can use it to show others how to get here, so they

understand the short cuts and the cul-de-sacs.
It can show us the challenges ahead and
why sometimes we get stuck going in circles.

Know the map, yet "Do" the walk. It is the only way.
 We should not mistake our aim; the map is only a tool.
It is a very valuable tool yet it is not our aim.
There is nothing to understand. 
There is nothing to think about;
 just Be and observe without judgments.
We all become reminders of the existence of souls;
just a smile might do it.
