This episode is inspired by my very first travel in an aeroplane and the experience of horrific turbulence.

This little experience of mine made me ask myself just to know if I am on the right track, moving in the right direction and not misleading people. I think we should always take time to observe and know and also be sure of where we are heading to, because without we being aware, some people are watching and following the footprints we leave behind.
