Worry

Reading today from Howard Thurman’s Deep Is The Hunger he notes:

“Worry is faith in reverse.”

While its not so difficult to put my vehicle in “Reverse” and back a car length or two out of a driveway or a parking space, I never consider driving down the road any meaningful distance in “Reverse.” That would just be silly, not to mention dangerous (or the crick it would put in my neck).

Maybe that’s the image to get out of the worry mode, to see myself moving the shifter to “Reverse,” taking my foot off the brake, and hitting the accelerator to drive down a winding, hilly, narrow road.
