I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading:
It vexes me to choose another guide
This is the Song of the Sagittarian. I have been living those words ever since I was two feet tall. Years before I ever read “Often Rebuked”. I will walk where my own nature would be leading. It vexes me to choose another guide.
It’s like Kipling’s cat. Again, that is another tale (or tail…sorry. Bad joke) which feels like it is coming directly FROM me, although Kipling wrote the damn thing.
