That Calamitous Event (Short Story)

 

It was a calamitous event. She no longer was able to wing it like she used to after her driving episode. It was not that long ago that she fell asleep behind the wheel and crashed into her fear of driving. It was almost impossible for her to see beyond the storm that pushed her will away from the driver’s seat.


Every time she tried, emotions welled into her eyes again. She was riddled with heartache and just couldn’t be loosed of it.


On the anniversary of her accident every year, she would rehash the memories and bring back to life, that tender moment that left her courage paralyzed. She became steeped in confusion and was there in the moment once again walking through the chaos of nearly totaled memories. Her mind was like a wide 5K movie screen in a theater that holds a million and ten people.


She realized that that things we put our time into is the energy that we inject into the world we currently live in. To move beyond that which was once, we must at some point get out of our own heads. No longer was she going to let her accident be the fuel that kept her grounded to fear. It could not have been that paralyzing if it was in yesterday’s world and we are here in the now moment.


And that is when her vision became aligned with the courageous being she was custom created to be. She was no longer stuck in the illusions of yesterday; she was blooming her life through and rising into the sun above the noise. She was once again driving amongst the under the influencers, crazy bicyclist that don't care and the pedestrians who think the roads belong to them. But at the end of the day, that was what made life sweet and she was just motoring through.
