Share the Road

This one’s going to be short, but it seems important.

I was driving from Santa Clara to Santa Rosa last week, and I noticed that the same sign was posted several times. It was something along the lines of: “Share the Road. Look out for the motorcyclists.” It hit me that that’s not just true on the road: we need to Share the Road in Life. There’s room for all of us, and we can be magnanimous enough to let the other guy have some space, too. And, looking out for the motorcyclists? Look out for the little guy. Keep your awareness keen enough to take in the people who may not otherwise be given much credence or help.

In life, more so sometimes than on the road, there is room for us all–if we just “move over” a little bit and give the other guy a little “elbow room.” We may not all be going to the same place, but we have to travel the same road a lot of times to get where we’re going. So, take in those around you, and especially the people who are hard to see, because of their size or their meaning to you. Take them in and SHARE. It’s not just about you, ever! We’re on the planet together. Peace.
