Just around the corner
As you probably already know, my drive into work in the morning is a significant part of my day. If it weren't for the destination, it would be perfect: I enjoy driving my Land Rover through the countryside, listening to podcasts., looking at the scenery and thinking about things.
This morning I was struck by the similarity between my journey into work and my journey through life. I was going along just fine, no-one was in front of me, no-one was behind me, I had the road to myself, I was in control of my destiny. As I rounded a bend I had to apply the brakes: there was a massive queue of cars all lined up behind a lorry trying to squeeze itself along the narrow lane. I joined the end of this queue and immediately lost control of my destiny.
Life's a pretty unstable thing isn't it: one minute everything's fine, and then it changes, just like that.
