A sweet lesson on patience

adspedia — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:20:15 +0000

Am gasit astazi acest articol pe Facebook si am considerat ca se merita sa-mi intrerup tacerea de pe blog din ultimele saptamani, pentru un asemenea continut. Like si share in voie daca v-a placut.

A NYC Taxi driver wrote:

I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked.. ‘Just a minute’, answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90′s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940′s movie.

By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.

There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard
box filled with photos and glassware.

‘Would you carry my bag out to the car?’ she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.

She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. ‘It’s nothing’, I told her.. ‘I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.’

‘Oh, you’re such a good boy, she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, ‘Could you drive
through downtown?’

‘It’s not the shortest way,’ I answered quickly..

‘Oh, I don’t mind,’ she said. ‘I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice.

I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. ‘I don’t have any family left,’ she continued in a soft voice..’The doctor says I don’t have very long.’ I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.

‘What route would you like me to take?’ I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.

We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, ‘I’m tired.Let’s go now’.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.

Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move.
They must have been expecting her.

I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.

‘How much do I owe you?’ She asked, reaching into her purse.

‘Nothing,’ I said

‘You have to make a living,’ she answered.

‘There are other passengers,’ I responded.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.She held onto me tightly.

‘You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,’ she said. ‘Thank you.’

I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light.. Behind me, a door shut.It was the sound of the closing of a life..

I didn’t pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day,I could hardly talk.What if that woman had gotten an angry driver,or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?

On a quick review, I don’t think that I have done anything more important in my life.

We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.

But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

Marsul pentru viata Cluj 2012. Cum a fost.

adspedia — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:00:52 +0000

Tare imi mai plac mie week-end-urile. Le-am si declarat de fapt “sarbatoare in familie”, pentru ca sunt 2 zile in care apucam sa petrecem timp impreuna, eu si sotia, impreuna cu pruncii nostri. Dar si acest timp familial merita intrerupt atunci cand motivul este unul intemeiat.

Si ce motiv mai bun decat participarea astazi la Marsul pentru Viata? Stiam de eveniment de cateva luni si am participat la propagarea ideii in mediul online, ajutand si cu cateva sugestii in acest sens. Participarea “fizica” mi se parea, deci, un gest de finalitate in a sustine acest proiect. Asa cum vorbeam astazi cu Vasile, e usor sa dai un “Like” si apoi sa nu-ti mai pese. Consider ca propagarea online a unui proiect este esentiala pentru transmiterea rapida a informatiei, insa daca se limiteaza la doar atat, nu faci mare branza.

Asa ca am mers astazi in Piata Unirii din Cluj si am fost alaturi de cei care au vrut sa dea (pentru a cata oara, oare?) un semnal de responsabilitate si dezaprobare impotriva avortului. Suntem pro-viata si nu pro-moarte! Am ales sa avem al doilea copil, o fetita, in pofida recomandarilor medicilor care ne prevesteau un copil handicapat, debil si total neadaptat si cu incredere in Dumnezeu am ales sa o aducem pe lume. E o minune de fata, scumpa, inteligenta si sensibila.

In orice situatie cu reguli generale vor exista si exceptii si cred ca acelea trebuie analizate specific, insa vreau sa cred ca poporul roman nu este un popor de ucigasi.

Ai fost la mars astazi? Ce te-a impresionat si de ce ai venit?
