The Aerial Horizon

Currents define the path ahead of us while our wake defines the nature and direction of the course we chose. Whether on the sea or in the heavens, our motion through the gas and liquid that surround us is ephemeral, yet well understood. Those following in our wake will either share in the turbulence of our path or benefit from the experience of our passage through a troubled atmosphere. Regardless of outcome, the whispers of our chosen path add conviction to their decision making.

There are times when we lack clarity, confusing currents for wake, unable to discern, and alone on our path. We yearn for whispered advice as we search for the constant of a distant horizon on which to anchor our convictions. Horizonless, we wallow in lonely indecision; finding our constant, we make headway and escape our discontent.
