Turning

Notice the metal mobile machine in front of you on the pavement.

The blinker flashes. The monster is determined to turn.

But which way?

The light indicates left....but that is across a traffic lane. Will it really make that move?

Watch the front of the machine. Does it turn left? Or does it pause??

Turning seems to be an uncertainty.

Watch next time you see a mobile machine turn. It will slow half way into the turn.
Why?

Are the occupants of the metal machine unsure of the direction they attend to go?

What is a turn?

A change of direction.

Traveling forward, then a decision to change direction.

But why do we change directions?

Are we traveling the wrong way? Do we need to adjust to a new path?

And why are we unsure of the direction change? Do we realize we may have made a mistake?

Life throws us lots of turns and we must be able to adjust to all of them.

As far as I can tell, centrifugal force carries me through ever turn.
