“The leaves of the maples along the highway were beginning to turn red, orange and yellow. Whole cornfields lay bare once again. Summer was drawing to a close. On his way to Bar Harbor, Nick thought his life, too, was drawing to a close. He felt alone and unloved. He wondered if anyone would even miss him. But then he got spun around, and he began to understand that he was neither alone nor unloved. No one had left him or stopped loving him. They were simply waiting for him. Rays of sunlight streamed through gaps in the clouds. They made Nick think of his mother and what she had told him about grace being his salvation. Now, he felt filled with grace. And he chose not to think of his failings or even the exciting opportunities ahead, his past or his future, his exodus or his journey home. Instead, Nick chose to pay attention to the road and simply drive.” EnlightenmentSalvationRedemptionRenewal Book:Drive Source: Drive
