In the fog

We went skiing in the fog friday.  It's rather alarming to realize you can't see the trail or anticipate the bumps and dips, So it is necessary to focus on the technique and trust that the way will be illuminated as you continue down the slope. 
It reminded me that my life is much the same way.  Sometimes the path is clear, the sun is bright, and the trail is crisp and groomed. More often there is crud, and corn (bumps), ice, or in late spring there is slush.  during those times I must depend on the basics (survival skills, instinct) and focus on the horizon (faith) to get me through.
