It has been a brutal week of driving, after winter descended
on us here at home. Children are back at school, buses are late and traffic
flow is slow and steady. If you live in a climate that experiences winter
snowfall, you’ll know how many of the population seem to forget how to drive in
winter conditions over the warmer months!
As I was driving down a long, straight stretch today, I
noticed a white truck steadfastly making its way along. The roads are
almost dry now, clear of snow, with only the occasional icy patch. It’s been a
long week and now it’s Friday, and people are tired and less patient. This
driver kept to his pace, a dirty black even bigger truck sped up and swerved in
front of him; a somewhat clean red BMW came to within inches of his back bumper
before honking loudly and cutting in front too.
White truck driver, continued to keep to his pace. Just so you know, he was not annoying slow, he was keeping within range of normal and
was in no way causing a traffic problem. He was just not to be rushed, he knew
what he was doing. And (although I should have been concentrating on my driving
more closely) I wondered about this driver.
Was he cautious in all things in his life, had he just
pulled an overnight shift at a hospital or was he on his way to an assignment?
Was he someone who had learned that some things cannot be rushed? Was he a yoga
practitioner, ignoring the distraction and noise around him?
Was he in love and listening to this song?
