It was hard to miss the metaphor. Four of us, holed up for a “visioning retreat” in a Morrow County farmhouse over the weekend, got stuck in the snow both coming and going.
On one level, as we looked out on sparkling white farm fields, we were inspired to plan 2010 with high hopes. On another, we were literally spinning our wheels.
As with all times of stuck-ness, there was plenty of advice.
“Gun the motor!”
“Turn the wheel the other way!”
“Try backing up!”
In the end it was a unified push from my friends that un-stuck the Prius from the top of the hill and sent her handily down the driveway.
Hard to miss the metaphor on that one.
