Heavy-Revy of the Week
August 11, 2004

[Heavy-Revy = Nykolaspeak for "Heavy Revelation", also known as a deeply profound moment]

So it's an average day on the road of life and as usual, I'm in a hurry. I find myself stuck sitting at a typical, Seattle-brand, extra long red light. There is one car in front of me. As I'm looking down, fiddling with something on the seat, I notice the car in front of me starts driving. Without checking to see if the light had indeed turned green, I immediately press on the gas, following behind.

Oops! I brake quickly.

It seems the car in front of me just ran a red light and now I was stuck in the middle of the intersection. It wasn't my time, but in haste, I almost got hit for blindly following the deviant car in front of me.

Such is the curse of my generation.

[Since it seems my symbolism was muddled, I give the translation: We put ourselves in danger when we blindly follow those who choose to treat their lives frivolously. The ultimate danger is stepping out too quickly in the thing that we know we're called to do. There is a season for everything; move too hastily and we'll be stuck in a dangerous intersection. Recognize what's taking place around us and be confident in the knowledge of what is right and our decisions will never be guided by what's popular.]
