As I Sit Here

As I sit here just watching, I’m wondering where everyone is going?

All driving faster than necessary, only to go where?

Are you on your way home from a busy day? 
Are you on your way to loved ones?
Just out for a drive? 
Are you killing time so you don’t have to have that conversation?

All these questions I will never know the answers to, yet all of you are traveling.

So, drive safe and may your destination be a welcoming place and not one of fear or loneliness.

Because we all deserve the peace of mind of knowing wherever you end up, that it is where you want to be.
