Coordinates

Oh, stumbled upon a nugget of wisdom tucked away in a book, did ya? It tossed out this zinger: you’re exactly where you gotta be, no matter the moment. But, huh, figuring out where “where” is? That’s the brain teaser. Imagine cracking open a tele ski guide, bam, it’s sprinkling you with coordinates for every twist and turn of those snowy escapades. Makes you think, can we pinpoint our spot in life with the same mathematical precision? Now, let’s get a tad nerdy, shifting gears from the usual GPS chatter to pure, unadulterated math coordinates. Stick with me; it’s a bit of a leap.

So, there I was, Thursday, giving my “Y” coordinate a nudge. How? By huffing and puffing my way up and through the Bridger Range. That’s going up on the Y-axis, if you’re following the breadcrumb trail. Fast forward to today, I’m zipping along the “X” coordinate, all the way to Missoula to chill in a cabin with pals. That’s moving across on the X-axis, in case you’re keeping score. Plot those points, and what do you get? A big, fat X marks the spot where I’m supposed to be. How’s that for finding your place in the grand scheme with a dash of algebra?
