There’s meaning to this one.

It speaks of apprehension – reluctance to leave the place where we’re parked. Hesitation and fear based on hypotheticals keep us from taking the exit. Familiarity, routine, and predictablility offer assurance and a measure of comfort, but can at the same time be stifling, dull, grey, windowless, and uninspiring — like a parkade where the light is always fluorescent and the view never changes.

Exiting into the daylight may feel risky, but the alternative is to accept perpetual parking. Don’t be afraid to shift the gear, to turn the wheel, to look out and aim for the sky. Unless you’ve made your permanent home in a cathedral of concrete, the next phase promises more — brighter colours, clearer horizons, a scene worth stepping into.
