Twinge

Just a quick thought here:
There's no way to feel confident when you're backing out of the parking lot at the auto repair place, having just picked up your car after a fix, and your mechanic waves and says, "Good luck!"

Drive

It's just a matter of going a different way today. Left instead of right. West rather than east. The roads are unfamiliar but the destination's the same. You always get there. Hands on the wheel, music playing, sun's out and the windows are down. So drive. Get there.

Break

On the afternoon I learned that my path would be changing, that a fresh opportunity had been set in front of me, I came home to find that a gust of wind had thrown back a loose casement window, slamming it against the house and blowing out two panes of glass, the remnants of which rained down to litter the garden and the walk and which took quite some time to pick up, shard by shard.

It's called balance.
