What a nice poem. Can't see a lot of things in the fog can we.

Thanks for sharing.

Fog is often a symbol for being lost and directionless. And in this world, things can get foggy very quickly. You're right -sometimes we don't know if we're going the right direction. That's when we need faith to guide us.

It was VERY foggy today in Toronto. We were going to go out this evening, to a movie, but decided to stay home because you couldn't see very far in the fog.

It is interesting how a physical fog can parallel my spiritual life. Exactly as you and Lewis and Lee have said, sometimes when I try to ask questions I get so many answers that it seems overwhelming, confusing, muddling my sight and direction. And that IS when we need faith to guide us.

That is all we can do at times is to just have faith as we make our way through the foggy places in our life. I have a few foggy places in mine not sure when it will end or the out come will be.

I sometimes think that fog exists both the atmospheric kind and the brain kind to help us remember to slow down.

Very, very nice! We have had terrible fog here in the Midwest, but along with horrible ice, snow, the whole bit. It has been a very, very nasty winter so far.....seems like no end in sight!

Fog wouldn't affect a fish. Tides do. The journey is always intriguing, and you never know what would happen next, even when there is no fog or tide. Pursuing happiness with faith, no fog will bother you. --from a freewebfish who never stops swimming.
