I drove into work this morning in fog so dense that I could only see the tail lights of the car in front of me. It was surreal; the towers of lights that line the highways wore halos and gave off a soft glow and everything else was shrouded in white thick mist. Perfect for Halloween. Happy to have my new glasses.
It occurred to me that driving in fog is alot like living - with only the road directly in front visible to us. We are aware that there is more, that other roads and possibilities are within reach, sensed but not seen, and they become revealed to us gradually, in their own time with shifts and changes. I suppose that is what faith is … the confidence in knowing that if you stay the course, life will be revealed as it should. And it has.
How exciting is that?
I absolutely love this analogy!
ReplyDeleteI love this post Lyn!!
ReplyDeleteI have tried to take some of the roads less travelled to get out of the fog on occasion :)

Very nice, Lyn!
ReplyDeletefog is funny that way - it makes me dreamy and yes, eventually i do find my way out of it.
ReplyDeletewow, your foggy world seems so alien!
ReplyDeleteHad a laugh at your letter to Self earlier, too.. sounds horribly familiar even though I'm a decade behind yet!! I thought I could very well have written that to My Self too :)
