Sheffield,
Illinois
Without
Blessings
A
police officer, on his highway patrol, stopped over and asked if I was needing
anything. I was moved by his offer. I had to think quickly as to what to say in
response to his openness.
“Water?”
he asked. This is the most common gift
offered while on the road-- good old H2O. My companion, Gopal, accepted the
gesture. My conclusion on this is,
“Illinois has ‘cool’ cops.”
On
the topic of water, related to this are my shoes. As in the case of practically any new
footwear, blisters become a reality. It
took a mean lance through each of the two balloon-like blisters to break open a
storehouse of liquid (water mostly).
Uttama then cleaned and bandaged the big and tiny toes that were subject
to blistering.
Thanks
Uttama!
It
was with great pleasure that we tagged on to the trail, a section of the
Hemmapin Canal State Trail. Water, in
the form of the canal, accompanied Gopal and I for this stretch, which is
really the road less travelled.
Another
item to take note of with today’s occurrences was one motorist who, on Route 6,
stopped her vehicle to say, “Thank you!
Thank you! I wish there were more
people like you. I hope it’s alright to
say, ‘God bless you!’”
I’m
happy she stopped to let us know she’s appreciating the walking efforts. And in return, we thank her for
blessings. Without blessings it is
impossible to succeed in anything.
May
the Source be with you!
