Seeing help

Yesterday morning, there was a long line of cars behind me at a red light.

Across the intersection, I saw someone who needed to turn left ... across my path.

Having seen people stuck there before, I waited for the light to turn green, and I flashed my lights.

I waved visibly. “You can go. Go ahead and turn. C’mon now. You’ll be stuck there.”

Nothing.

The driver wasn’t paying attention. She was lost in her own world of being stuck trying to turn.

What could I do? I had to move on.

She’s not alone of course. Sometimes we don’t see help, and sometimes we don’t even look for it.

Even now. It’s quite possible that someone is trying to help you in some way, and you’re just not seeing it.
