Since only hindsight is 20/20, I’ve long since surrendered to the idea I may never learn in real time which bridge to cross, and which to burn. 

 Alice came to the fork in the road.
“Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” responded the Cheshire cat.
“I don’t know,” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

 “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” – Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
