Intersections

When you think about it, out lives speed by so quick that we must be passing each other at incredible speeds. Our lives cross numerous times in any given moment, but how many of these people do we notice? Too few, some would say. Just enough, is the comment made by others. How do we notice these people? Maybe as we cruise down the highway of life, we slow down and stop at the intersections. However, we tend not to notice people at intersections when we are driving, unless they prevent us from getting moving again by endlessly waving on other cars. Perhaps the people we do notice are those we meet through head on collisions. Our two lives smack so hard that we feel disturbed by meeting them, but we can't stop knowing them because just because.
