Are We There?

We are like children trapped by our own impatience in the back seat, capable only of pestering the adults in front with repeated cries of: "Are we there yet?"

The answer is as plain as the nose on your face (or on the face of the sage). It can be found in any shopping mall. Go to the intersection of the paths and you will find there a map of the small commercial universe. Plainly marked on it is the spot called: "You are here."
