This is something that happened two weeks ago on Sunday afternoon (around the start of April.)
Its something I keep forgetting that actually happened because its so unlike anything that ever happens to me. I was walking near my home in a busy area within a city. And at a cross roads there was a busy road on my right, and a lesser busy road coming to it on my left. (I was on the left hand side of the road, also I live in UK so we drive on the 'Proper' side of the roads..lol.) When all of a sudden there was a 'Two' year old-ish child running down the middle of the road on my left. Behind was his mother chasing him and shouting to me to stop him. This child was a second away from the main (very busy fast road to my right.) So I swooped him up of the road he was running down to stop him going onto the busy road on my right. As I held the child he was giggling in my arms and having fun without knowing how close this experience was. His mother was very happy, and the child was saying - Byeeee , Byeeee as I went about my biz.
I am sharing this because its something I never thought would happen as I had coffee that morning. At the end of the day I still thought it did not happen to me or the child. It was one of those moment where I was in the right place at the right time (like within a second, in the right place.)
Something like this makes me think about my whole life. Every little moment or event, choice I have made, corner turned and unfortunate thing led to this moment. Obviously all events - good or bad - means something.
I forget about it all the time, I was prompted today to write about this in forums.
( the next morning, Monday I woke with a lower leg that does not work any more, I am for mri's n stuff. I will be walking again properly) It does not upset me that cause and effect works so strange.
