Almost got hit by a car

Weird experience yesterday... Now that the weather is nice, I like to walk to the gym instead of driving. I also like to listen to my iPod during my walk. I was at a red light, and the WALK sign came on, and I instinctively started walking toward the other side of the road... something told me to turn around, and there was this car making a left turn, and it stopped less than a hair away from me. I didn't even have time to curse or anything.. (I rarely curse, mainly because I sound REALLY silly when I do..). The guy just kept driving. The worse part was when someone in another car stopped to tell: "Man, that car almost hit you.. you better get off the road". GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Deeper meaning of this experience, always trust your senses... don't always look up to teachers or leaders (the WALK signal) to direct your life. I like to think of spiritual teachers as guides, rather than the supreme authority in my life.

It also means I need to be more careful when crossing the street...

Oh yeah, this happened so fast.. I never had time to see my life flash before my eyes.

EED
