"there is rest in the knowledge of not knowing what's ahead..." but don't miss the signs that prelude what may possibly come in the future. Now Driver.... where are we going?

Now Driver...
I once heard, "there is rest in the knowledge of not knowing what's ahead." Well, no offense to Cathy Bennington and her wealth of knowledge, but i do believe on any road there are sign, signals and sometimes flashing lights. Granted, you may be on an old country road, sandwiched between wheat fields and and cows, but even these roads let you know when a curve is coming. So, my question is: What's on this road? At the moment I can't see what's ahead. I don't know what or if there is anything past the approaching hill. All I know is I'm on it. I have passed many green lights, seen some caution signs and now sit at a yield sign. Yield signs are crazy. With a yield sign you can stop or blow right through with a quick glance to make sure it's safe. But you have to think. You have to decide what to do. You have to keep moving regardless. But I'm on a road where I'm the passenger. I am not the driver. I have to wait. Wait... Wait... Wait... So far, this road has been crazy. It's been a smooth ride. It's been surprisingly comfortable. But what's ahead? What has this road I've been on been preparing me for? What has this drive taught me? What signs have I passed? But it's not up to me. It's up to the driver. I just have to know when to get out of the car. I have to know when to speak up and direct. I have to listen.
