Mr Bus Driver

Relying on public transportation gives you a whole different perspective on life. Yesterday I wrote about finding ways to be still and slow down and God "blessed" me with the opportunity to spend over an hour and a half on buses throughout the day.

My first thought was that sitting in that much traffic was seriously hampering my productivity. But let's be honest, I doubt I was going to be that productive on my first full day back after a great holiday break. So, I sat back, popped in some U2 and just relaxed.

Whenever I can, I try to get the front seat of the top floor of the bus so that I can watch the world go by with a great view. On one of the routes I was on, I got that seat and lemme tell ya, it was an adventure. The guy driving today must have forgotten to take his ritalin becuase he was zipping in and out of traffic in ways that I didn't think were possible in a giant double decker bus. Though we were moving pretty well, it never felt out of control. I always felt like the driver knew exactly what was coming, where to turn, slow down, etc. It was pretty cool. It was also quite fitting that Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me came on in the middle of one of the more exciting turns.

Thanks Mr. Bus Driver for keeping life interesting.
