I always love driving aimlessly on dusky afternoons where the road is spacious enough for a neophyte like me. I thought that steering the wheel is just easy as turning it to the left or to the right but not as what I thought when I was the one manipulating it myself. Since I was just new with the steer, I found it difficult to control especially on bends that I often end up rejumping the starter. My ever first driving along the main road on the city was when my grandmother was rushed to the hospital on early dawn. Since my uncle was so sleepy after we have gone through lots of laboratory investigations, he handed me the steering wheel. I was nervous at first because I felt like their lives were dependent on my sweating hands and the steering wheel which happened to be a stranger to me. In addition to that, I'm driving without the official driver's license.I remember that 50km/hr was already fast enough for me and I'm so careful of not pushing the accelerator that much.. Though I can brag that we all went home safe..:) Taking the risks and keeping my eyes on the road, I noticed that the steering wheel becomes friendly after sometime . I learned that you just have to give it a little force when you want it turned to left or right and that you can't impose your own force because it was designed that way. The last time I handled the wheel, my hands are more confident even if still, I'm driving with the absence of a driver's license.
Oftentimes, we find life as tiresome because we are exerting too much effort on our own belief that we are the good driver because we are holding the steer. We are imposing our own will on the steering wheel of life neglecting that life itself was designed by a Great Driver..
Just a thought while watching our driver steering the wheel of the bus back home..
Jesus takes the wheel. hehe.. naalala ko lang ang song na yan.. :)
