Dot on the horizon

How clear visions for the future drive engagement

Last week we spent a few days in the Netherlands.

I had work to do, we visited family and friends and had a good time in The Hague.

Sunday, we drove back.

We benefitted from one extra hour because daylight saving time ended, so we left early and returned home before it got dark (again).

It was a gorgeous day on the road, primarily in Germany. The sun was out, it felt like a warm spring day, and the trucks were not allowed on the highways.

One of my deliberations was on the stories I would write this week.

I had trouble focusing because of a bad and short night’s sleep. The cause was a lack of discipline in eating good food.

Thinking about topics while driving faster than usual with a little sleep deficit was not that easy.

Then we crossed the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.

A tunnel through the mountain separates the two countries.

We left a sunny and warm Germany, and a few minutes later, we entered a foggy and much colder Czech Republic.

One happy and optimistic. The other is sad and a bit gloomy.

What most intrigued me, while not new, was how the world suddenly turned a lot less clear.

It was hard to see the cars in front of you for a while.

My first thought was how lucky the Germans were with such a gorgeous day, while the Czechs spent the whole day in the fog.

Then I thought of the link to my story.

One was trying to find a restaurant in an unknown city while zooming in and out on a map.
