Life is like driving a car

Up ahead is the big picture –

the goal.

But the way, the way is blurred

with thoughts, like scenery that one catches in the peripheral –

so hard to hold on to.

Pulling over to pay them mind requires effort –

and excusing oneself from traffic is no easy task

Opportunities slip by unnoticed –

or realized too late.

So we shrug.

It’s important to keep ones gaze forward –

Stay focused!

But even all that road ahead –

the sheer vastness of opportunity –

even it gets lost in the monotony of a

journey devoid of notice
