So tell me, what’s the next step, I ask. Suddenly, an image. I am riding at night between two cities, lights on. As it is to be expected, I cannot see the whole road in front of me. I just know /expect it’s there. I just have to pay attention to the signs. I trust that there are road signs, if not man-made, then other kinds. My vehicle's lights only show me the next few meters in front of me, then the next, then the next. Following the road is what I trust will bring me to my destination. Sometimes, depending on the signs, my driving ability, or on my ability to see, I will stop.
Doubting whether I am moving in the right direction. Sometimes I might decide to go through the bushes, on rough terrain (off-road, V whispers). At times, I might even decide to walk. Walk for a while and then maybe return to the vehicle. If I find it again. Or reinvent the car. (I'd already, several times, DID attempt to reinvent the wheel. So, there’s that 🙂 ) Sometimes I'll take hitchhikers with me. How about when I take several (thousand) hitchhikers? Hitchhikers who (I allow to) become co-pilots or even steal the car. I did that. I hope I learned not to do that anymore. But now, in this fleeting moment, where am I? And what do I see in front of me, in this lit semi-circle in the dark, what am I to follow? And what kind of vehicle is this? Is it a bicycle, will the weather wear me down? Is it a car, and if yes, is it a durable one? Is it made to endure and is this car good for this planet? Is this a car I love? Does it go fast? Does it go slow? What do I even want it to do? Do I want it to go fast and reach my destination in no time? Or do I want it to go slow enough for me to enjoy the landscape and the ride? Is it a space ship? .. Or teleportation?
