Question

Take a Moment to Really See

I was driving to a meeting and I was planning in my mind what I was going to say. I came to a very busy crossroads but the stop light just turned red. "All right，" I thought to myself. "I can beat the next light if I race ahead of the line."

Suddenly my thought was broken by an unforgettable sight（情景）. A young couple, both blind, were walking am-in-arm across the busy crossroads. They couldn't see. Cars were running by in every direction. Each of them held a white cane（手杖） which helped them to cross the road.

I was moved. They were fighting against blindness. "Wouldn't it be terrible to be blind?" I thought. My line of thought was quickly broken by what I saw: the couple were not walking in the crosswalk， but into the path （路） of oncoming cars. I was frightened.

But I didn't see an accident. Something wonderful happened. Every car in every direction came to a stop almost at the same time. Suddenly a driver stuck（伸出） his head out of his car and shouted, "To your right. To your right!" Other people followed, shouting, "To your right!" They all wanted to help.

Without a stop, the couple changed their direction. They trusted their white canes and the help of some caring people. They came to the other side of the road safely..

I have thought of this situation many times since it happened and have learned something from it. "Slow down and smell the roses." Do yourself a favor as you walk through life. Take time to look around and really see what is going on around you right now. Maybe you are missing something wonderful.
