Among those who carry old habits that seem to take never along for a change – this is a story Dave shared with me during one of our first and last visits together. He said, "One well intentioned volunteer, after a full day of collecting garbage and a great wrap-up bush party barbeque", while on their way back to town, "tossed the expired cokepop can (he had just polished off), out the window of his truck!" Well, for Dave, everything just then came abruptly to a full-stop.
You could see it in his eyes.
Staring back at him from across the cab was the perplexed 57 year old man who, obviously oblivious to what just happened, wondered, had Dave forgot something back there?...
In disbelief, and short of breath, Dave tried hard to forget what he just had to bear witness, as he slowly began to drive again, he was silent, and tired
and looking forward to being home after a full day of dealing with other person’s dispositions. Tomorrow was a new today afterall and you never know? Things Could Change.

Yes, consciousness dawns slowly for some of us. We are all a work in progress. I give gratitude for Dave, who is aware of how his tiniest action affects the world. I give gratitude for the older gentleman, who is perhaps just beginning to awaken.
May the light ever dawn.
