Trusting the Blind Curve

Photography: Brooke Pennington | www.brookepennington.com

We all get to that point where we can no longer see the straight, ongoing trajectory of the path we've worked so hard at creating for ourselves. There it is; that epic moment of panic. That blind curve looming in front of us that elicits our finest "Oh sh*t!" reflex.

Some of us are lucky enough to experience this in the daylight, so there's at least an inkling that something is about to require our undivided attention. As for the rest of us? Well, we may as well be on that ominously winding road on the side of the mountain, in the middle of the darkest night weighted by the thickest fog, with no sign of the moon's forgiveness.

No illumination to guide us. No clarity in sight. No whispers helping us direct the wheel. We have nothing to rely on but inherent instincts. It's in this suspended moment that we're forced to trust our internal navigation. The beauty in this is, of course, cloaked by terror;  but it's exactly that which frees us. We're forced to act alone without external influences.

With our entire world muted, we have little else to consider outside our own senses. Trust the blind curve. As long as we follow our instincts, we'll never find ourselves on the wrong side of the road, even if the destination differs from our original intention.
