Wow, this is an excellent piece of writing Gabe. I have never thought about how a map is actually made. And even more, that our lives, what we go through, are a map we are creating every single day. This piece made me really think about a lot of things, and where I have been also, and how when the roads were rough during a time, due to my own choice of road selection, that I now know to never travel those same roads again. In life though, there will be some roads we may have to travel more than once, whether we like it or not. But overall, the map is being laid out as we walk it.

This is an amazing piece of writing. I thoroughly loved reading this and gaining a whole new perspective. Keep up your great writing Gabe. It is definately appreciated.

J'adore ... wonderful perspective. FWIW it gets more intense, more 3D as you age....especially as you age. The maps are complex, and the terrain/maps you create in your 20s-40s give you experience in map-making, but they do not repeat...you are challenged to build maps that are multi-dimensional, and if you are caring for parents and kids... You are creating 3 maps at a time. But what a great visual that I will come back to time and again. Thank you xx #startsomewhere

So interesting to consider the other maps being drawn in a family !!!
