Driving
Tonight we went to get our son’s truck from the body shop where some work had been done to it to repair some damage from an accident he had a few weeks ago. So we go to leave, not the usual part of town we drive around in to be honest. I give directions, I thought they were clear. Well not so clear, we end up digging for change for the local toll road and a few more almost wrong turns hit a road we know and head back towards our destination.
That was a little less than fun, but it tends to happen to the best of us. I do admit to having a tendency to just keep driving until I think I can find my way around. We spent several hours once lost on the Baltimore Freeway system. I got quite turned around, heading in the incorrect direction, and then the guy part of me kicked in and I had to make sure I got us back on track. It did not succeed so very well.
Unexpected detours and wrong turns taking you to unintended places and locations. Once we got back on track we were not in unexpected waters anymore. But sometimes I do like to just drive around.
This could be a great parable for life. To not worry so much while getting from one location to another. Instead just read the signs, take time, not to get upset, get more gas when necessary, and just enjoy the Moon up in the sky as well.
