Dear Friends
It is humbling to come close to death or permanent disability and one
is thankful to Providence for saving all lives. My family and I have
been involved in an 8 car pile up on a motorway (freeway) today near
London, England, and it turns out that at 70+mph an argument began in
the car way in front between a couple... and a few minutes later we
were all involved in it... is nothing private in an interconnected
world...
... at that high speed, one of the passengers decided to open their
door and walk out of the row with their partner... the consequence was
a massive pile up on the motorway...
Our car stopped completely as car number seven with plenty of distance
in front... before we were hit by car number eight from behind...
which then caused us to go and hit car number six... the domino effect
which began with the rowing couple's car wrote off almost all the cars
one by one and whilst all this was happening it seemed like a film...
Just a few minutes back were all fine and driving safely and securely
with plenty of distance between ourselves and the cars in front and
behind... A few minutes later, chaos and carnage as several people had
to be taken by ambulance to hospital and there was a complete
standstill of the traffic with a jam going back miles as the motorway
was shut down...
We are all in a state of shock... and yet thankful to the Supra
Universal Consciousness for having saved our lives. The minor pains
are bearable for the moment as the family members are still coming to
terms with being alive and in one piece ... but the only common thread
is the intense love one feels for every one in the car in the moments
immediately after the accident when one is not sure who is hurt where
and exactly how long we will live... one second, one minute, one
hour.... who knows? After checking that all in our car were reasonably
fine, the focus shifted to the cars in front and behind... The mother
in front with two children was in severe pain... the daughters were
crying... the paramedics were on the scene within minutes... as were
the police... The Frenchman and his colleague behind were also in need
of medical attention as his hand had gone and hit the windscreen and
smashed it... His colleagues hand was badly swollen having taken the
brunt of the impact via the steering wheel...
Love... though... a common bond... all strangers... we came together
quickly... and began to help each other as the police and emergency
services made their way... That is an essence worth bearing in mind...
as one plans for the next umpteen years... and best not to have a row
in the car and decide to walk out of it at 70+mph car on a motorway...
others pay the price... including ourselves on this occasion... There
is something about humanity in this anecdote... still trying to figure
it out... in the meantime... love is the answer!
