True Wisdom is Found in Your Rear View Mirror
Dear fellow roadie,
In the first days of October last year I drove I-40 West from Alabama to San Diego via Oklahoma City and Sacramento. It was a beautiful fall drive and one of it’s greatest pleasures, that I mentioned in an article at that time, was that most of the trip I had sunrise ahead of me and sunset directly in my rear view mirror. A friend reminded me of that today.
Sunset in the rear view mirror is a wonderful metaphor, isn’t it? In the first place, it’s a great image for letting things go. So many things need to be let go, friend’s that don’t last, jobs lost, dreams that didn’t work like we wanted, the errors of others, our own mistakes… so many things. Let them go. Drive on.
