I am stopped at the intersection, waiting for a sign or signal. There is no traffic light or stop sign, so I have pulled over to the side of the road. Which way shall I go?

I have no map, the way is not clear in my mind and the roads ahead are not paved. A fog begins to settle around me further obscuring my view. I am not lost, I am paralyzed with fear.

I have to make a choice without sound information. Do I follow my experience or my gut? There is no turning back, once I make a decision I will have to deal with the results one way or another.

I know where I want to go, but the way is not clear. I may not survive the journey if I make the wrong choice. So I wait, hoping the fog will lift; believing that there will appear in time an indication of the path that leads to my heart’s desire. Is belief enough? How long will I wait?
