Interesting observation today... i attribute it to society and our lack of patience... our need for speed... lack of consideration... a commodity of time... and while these all mean something of the same... here i will begin this diatribe... i was waiting at the stop light today... the scene played out much like this... the cross traffic to which I was waiting had been brought to a halt due to 3 senior aged women...waiting patiently for the walk icon to flash on the stop light... one gentle spirit was with a walker... this was during a busy time of day and frankly on a corner that were you to step off to soon...at this particular corner of town those who are approaching tend to do so with speed... to which you could easily be sent to your reward... these were and had been waiting patiently for the icon signal to change from hand to walk signal... to which upon progression thru the walk lane... albeit a slow and steady pace... they were met with again the held up hand... traffic all around had stopped... to a standstill... and in that moment of standstill another gentle lady approached the walk and began to move through as well... i too believe it was a safety in numbers sort of a moment... regardless... traffic was stopped... dead... now from my perspective... this action was acceptable as the three others had only just made it to center stage... by the time all 4 had traversed the walk and traffic began to move again... the light had gone from green to yellow to red... now here in lies my musing... traffic had become stalled from what was north to south... and once the light had turned to red... not only did the two vehicles that were in the most immediate path of the pedestrians did move forward and onward... but the next 3 vehicles from the north and 1 from the south... this action... while admittedly was possibly out of what one would feel was of no better choice... there was an evident moment of... my time is more valuable than yours... and quite possibly even more valuable than a human life... take a moment and ponder these thoughts...
Wonder.... if... the day has come... or when it does... will I be one of those that is taken... or will I be left behind with the knowledge that... i knew and yet... it is easy to look into the eye of this day and wonder... i see so clearly the light that is lining the path... the way that only leads to where all I've ever dreamed would be... would actually be... i have spent my day with a firm belief that the one who will come is the one who knew where I would be on that moment of return and choose to let me be one of those who is here to be the guide and light to a wounded and sick hearted world... is this the place I will be left to endure... is this the path that has been designed for my feet to trod... will my place be reserved for something better... for work yet to be done... will I hold a truth... to share with those who... while I knew the way I yet chose to live a life of faith blinded by life...
