We've Got A Map and The Sail's Full, But No Direction Where To Go. The What.

This piece is all about direction and the idea that you can fully prepare yourself for what lies ahead, and still be completely blindsided by what actually happens. The title gives you a lot...it talks of a map and the "sail's full". This reference could be taken literally in the sailing and moving fast sense, or, as I intended, the full sails represent the beginning of movement, the readiness to move forward, the end of preparation. The "sails full" indicate you are ready to go full-steam ahead. The map implies that there is a goal...a destination...a plan...but a map with no directions (as the end of the title reveals) is questionable in its worth.

To put it simply, the idea of this piece is that you can do everything possible to get ready...feel as collected and confident as you can and still not know what's coming...still have insecurities....still have worry and the unknown.

It's not about being prepared to face anything (where's the fun in that), but about welcoming the eventual fact that, despite your efforts, you won't be prepared at some point but move forward anyway.
