U-Turn

As we speed along the highway, slick with freshly fallen rain,
we pass an elderly man driving a tractor on the shoulder
in the opposite direction.

Slow and steady -- yet firm and resilient. Smiling, to boot.

What a brave soul to dare counter the dizzying speed and raw force of modernity with good, old-fashioned patience, awareness and gratitude.
