As I grasped the steering wheel of my beloved fast car, the wind blew past my hair. The engine screamed beneath me, creating a symphony of power and liberty. The automobile accelerated forward with each pedal press, consuming the broad road ahead. But, in the midst of the adrenaline rush, a concern lingered in the back of my mind: “Is it fast enough so that we can fly away?”

There’s an allure to speed, a magnetic pull that invites us to push the limits of what’s possible. We crave the rush of breaking free from limitations and flying into the great expanse of infinite possibilities. It’s about more than just the physical experience of speed; it’s also about the metaphorical escapism it represents.

Will we opt to abandon the known and embrace the unknown? Will we cling to the security of familiarity, accepting the constraints put on us?

I look at the meaning of this decision as the lyrics of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” play in my head. We are forced to make a decision, to seize the moment and embark on a path toward a brighter future. Leaving tonight represents a leap…
