We might call them old, but they are mystical, embroidered with frequencies of those who have written and read the pages that make up a book. Sometimes we suffocate the very flow of life, planning, immersing ourselves in minuscule details, only to end up with regrets. Allowing 'detours' to be part of your lives teaches us humility and enables us to see beyond the dichotomy of right/wrong, left/right, etc.
