LISTENING  TO  EACH  OTHER

We’re not the only one on the road.

Now that’s a line we often forget.

And these other people on the road

are not as good a driver as I am.

Next, there’s the question of perception.

We think the other person is too fast

or too slow, depending on the person

in our seat and whether we’re in a hurry.

Then there are the accidents. We hit the

other person's car or cow or fence.

Then there’s the conversation - often

made in the heat of battle. Listen to

how many times we say “listen” when

we’re not listening to each other.
