In the old days, the Sage went on to say, stories ran rampant about those who defiantly tried to make a turn along their road of life....refusing to stay in the rut. Nightmares were common with cars that broke an axle, tires torn off the rim....even stories about cars that were left to rust in the middle of the road...with road diversions built around them.
The 'Ol Sage gave me one of those eye-to-eye looks as he ended his story. Be careful on your road of life not to be thrown off course by one of those Rut-while-Rs. They'll try to keep you in a comfortable life style. They'll keep you from your goals. Those ruts on our road of life have kept many a good Heartlander from reaching his human potential.
