“Awaken that light”
March 31st, 2005 | by john |Here’s some inspiration!
When you have once seen the glow of happiness on the face of a beloved person, you know that a man can have no vocation but to awaken that light on the faces surrounding him.
Albert Camus
It’s storming down here in Atlanta… again. Looks like a very strong T’storm moving from the southwest.
When I was driving down from Charlotte last Sunday, the storm in South Carolina was annoying. There were periods where the only thing smearing my view of the road was from the tires of the front car distributing the water on the interstate onto my car. There were periods where, it was raining so hard that I couldn’t see but a blur of random red lights and darkness in front of me. There were also small hills and valleys of the highways… I always had to get a good grip on the steering wheel as I was driving through the troughs so my car wouldn’t hydroplane much. I don’t remember personally driving through such a storm before… Surprisingly though… it still took about the same amount of time it would have taken if the night was completely dry. And no, I wasn’t dangerously speeding or anything – most of the time, I followed the speed of the traffic which slowed during torrential rains and sped up when no rain was falling.
Some people are afraid to drive on the Interstate… I find it more relaxing to drive on the interstate than within the streets of Atlanta or any city. It’s the frequent stops and extra attention that is required within the streets that I just don’t like. I just prefer the continuous motion of a highway system… although traffic in general is a pain.
Good night.
