They were headed for harm’s way…

We know nothing of the power beyond us
Our path has been set
We know only where we are today
Tomorrow is unknown
The mapmaker knows the way
Waypoints established from other times
Today’s route is not tomorrow’s
The path from yesterday has been followed
Hidden dangers on a detour yet to be seen
Some dealt with during the encounter
Some…bumps in the road
Others end…well, they just end
For others, the detour is interrupted
Unknowingly headed for harm’s way
The path forward must not be disrupted
The chosen route is restored
Learned from lives past, the dangers are known
Living forward, advancing through the obstacles
Preservation…at all costs
The other way is not today
Unseen, the mapmaker intervenes
Take pause, don’t look away
Don’t ask questions
This is the way of the mapmaker
