DRIVER’S COURSE
<<< PREV | FIRST | NEXT >>>
I felt like this image should receive a proper painting treatment. And thus, this.
Amongst other things and non-things convoy driving lesson was this week.
Majority of the drill involved the spread formation: first vehicle drives straight and stops at the first intersection it would make a turn at. In 5 minutes, the second vehicle follows. It keeps driving straight until it sees the vehicle before it and stops where that vehicle is waiting. The first vehicle then departs while the second waits for the third to arrive. Rinse and repeat.
I’ve never been one for road tripping, considering it a waste of time to aimlessly drive about. But…this was...surprisingly delightful, just following the road without any clue where it will lead or how much further to go or what one might find there. But surely, surely, behind one of those curves there’ll be your destination. Until then, just enjoy the ride.

Walking or driving down a road is similar to life; there are turns and obstacles and road stops. At times you have to go on foot, or go crawling. But as in every life, and in every road trip, the end of the road must come once. Once the road ends, the soul is free for a small moment, until it's back again into a mortal body, in fact back to traveling.
Still there? Bear with me. :P
Of course, you might notice I laid some parallels with Buddhist world theory, and the driving fits there as a perfect allegory of the cycle of life and it's planes. If you imagine driving from point A to point B is like living a life from birth to death, the cab driver can be seen as soul in it's various planes of existence. Imagine a cab driver; he has lived many lives but his soul (the driver himself) is the same. Now apply some quasi-mathematical transformations here. To attain release from this cycle of deaths and births (to quit your lousy taxi driver job) you must attain a higher sense of consciousness (think of something better than driving a taxi cab), and hurl behind the old ways of thinking and looking at life.
