only as far as the headlights

someone once said to write a story is like driving at night you only have to see as far as the headlights.you can make the whole journey that way.

or the Hermit's light..Lantern - following the Soul's light a step up a time up the mountain.

but if you have just sprained your ankle and can't walk then the steps have to be within.
and they always do and this is not literal, or alliteral or figurative though
figuring out how to do things without walking needs to be alchemical and not
abysmal.

wishing us all strong dancing legs and feet and a the graceful dancing to an illuminated and illuminating darkness a breath at a time..

and now again a scream leading into a dream and a new scene that has to do with what ray bradbury said. plot is the footprints the characters leave in the snow.

we are not back there again are we.

the headlights are leading in that direction around this particular slippery turn.
