The way

Signposts are helpful.. In that that point in the general direction.. They are not, however, GPS and once you turn your back on the signpost, its work is done.
Sometimes when people ask us for direction, they need a bit more than a general hint or short word. Maybe they need you to accompany them for a bit of the journey. In Jewish tradition, when someone said "I am the way " they meant follow me and I'll take you to where you want to go.
More than a signpost!
