I think people dislike driving because they focus too much on the destination and not as much on the meditative journey. I love how my mind seems to swing wide open as the landscape rolls by. I love watching the birds, the hawks and the little spinning birds, and this time I saw an eagle, in a nest at the top of a telephone pole. I love how, in motion, your stable life is up for examination, and I love looking at it from a distance. I guess people focus too much on driving as a way to arrive. When the focus is purely on the destination, I can see how the stress of anticipation makes for no fun. I’ll save pointing out the parallels to the way we live our lives. In this day and age, most people are becoming aware of how quickly life goes when all you can do is to stress out about the way it will end.
