smile

I came to a stop sign on my way to work this morning, and a woman in a gigantic SUV came to the intersection on my right. The fact that she was in a gigantic SUV really has no bearing on this story... at least nothing plainly seen.

We reached the stop sign at about the same time, and so we both started to creep ...sorta feeling out the situation. I quickly smiled broadly and waved her on, as if to say - how silly, silly me, silly us, please be my guest.

We could clearly see eachothers faces, I am sure she saw my gesture as well as my expression.
She turned her head back to the road - stone cold and carried on.
The human-ness of the situation lost.
How sad for her.
