Empty Streets

One lady was heard saying, “the traffic is terrible, and I'm not sure I will make it across town in time.” A gentleman was speaking when he said, “There is no way to make it all the way over there in ten minutes.” To what are they referring? Oh, simply all the vehicles on the main thoroughfares in town. Bumper to bumper, horn to horn with everyone scurrying everywhere from the banks to the stores to that gas stations and more. But, have the readers every driven through town in the middle of the night? The traffic isn't bad at all. In fact, there are empty streets.

The clogging of cars and trucks can be a bit frustrating. Everyone knows that. However, has there ever been any consideration to meeting in the middle of the night when most everyone else is asleep? There are very few cars on the road and with the exception of a few garbage trucks and street sweepers, the travel time is almost impediment free. The lights turn or stay green all the way across town. There are very few bicyclist. Walkers are vacant, and the web mover is rarely seen at night. It's almost as if the streets are like a ghost town, and without the aid of street lighting, it would appear so.

So what's the big deal about night travel anyway? Perhaps it has something to do with timing. Empty streets and timing, now that has an interesting connection. Maybe, just maybe, there is a correlation between the timing that makes for seamless conversations verses convoluted ones. Quite possibly one of the greatest times to share with someone loved is when the streets are clear, the impediments are vacant, and the lights are all green. With nothing other than “empty streets” within the minds and hearts, clarity of thought, easy communication and fully attentive sharing is as easy as traveling across town when no one else is around.

Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
