No Brakes

For the past few weeks, I have been driving a truck without brakes. Basically, they have worn down to the point where when I depress the brakes, you can hear the worn metal rubbing on the worn metal. Luckily I have not had to stop with any required amount of force. I end up being the guy who starts slowing down about a mile before the stop light.

To make things worse, I drive in the fast lane. Yes, I am one of those guys that is now driving in the fast lane and slowing down way before arriving at the stopped cars. I have not been honked at or given the finger, so I must make it look like no big deal.

I don't have a spinner pin to tell me the brakes were going bad before they did, otherwise, I would have replaced the brakes already. For now, I will continue to drive without brakes much in the same way I have lived my life.

I have made decisions in the past that are without brakes. I kept scanning the horizon and looking for other options rather than coming to a complete stop. I have stopped before, but that was only because I was overloaded with all of the obstacles in my life and how to deal with them. When I stop, I tend to go to my cave.

In my early years, this meant taking a trip somewhere I have never been and getting in my own head. I would work through all of my options, goals, and issues and finally discover the next path. I called it "visiting my spirit guide." This has always worked well for me.

As I grew older, the trip somewhere usually ended up me being in my house depressed. Then during a dream of some sort, I would again discover my path.

Today, I am basically on visiting my spirit guide all the time. I am always in my head because I have basically two things happening in my life: work and time alone. I am discovering who and what I am.

This brings me to my point (as I almost always have one). When you have a defined path, take it without brakes. But living without brakes all the time can be quite dangerous. Right now, my truck is without brakes, and I am not. This is a good thing to me.

Did you know...

Spirit Guides are spirits of like spiritual age to ourselves, working on the principle of "like attracts like". They are usually not with us all the time. They come when we are "receptive", or when they feel that their attempt at guiding us might help.

The Spirit Guide (depending on culture) can be an ancestor, a close relative or an animal.
