“It was every woman’s worst nightmare. There I was—35, single, and trapped in a corn maze.”
I stopped to gaze at four corncobs bunched together, and was reminded of my girlfriends. Maybe you don’t need one strong farmer to sweep you off your feet. Maybe your most important relationships are the ones with the female corncobs who have been beside you all along. I wished my girlfriends were with me now—it was getting dark.
I used to think that life was about fabulous parties, lingering glances, and speeding down Fifth Avenue in a taxi. Now I realized what life was truly about—getting out of the maze. The literal corn maze that I had been inside for upward of an hour. Manhattan is an island bound by a clear grid system. Corn mazes are islands bound only by corn. Here, in this lawless field, I was beginning to lose my sense of direction, and beginning to lose myself.
Is haystack the new haute couture? Is farmhouse the new Fendi? Could cows, goats, pigs, roosters, and hens be the latest accessories walking the runway for Valentino? Probably not, but these things are all I know now. I was slowly spinning out. A scarecrow winked at me. I scribbled my number on a scrap of paper and handed it to a crow. He never called me back.
Sometimes, as you navigate the corn maze of your life, you have to take a moment to stop, look around, and acknowledge where you’ve come from and where you’re going. Everything happens for a reason. Love isn’t logical, and neither are the winding lanes of starch that stretch endlessly before you.
