　　We have all heard the expression：“Remember to stop and smell the roses.” But，how often do we really take time out of our hectic fast­paced lives to notice the world around us?

　　I am as guilty as anyone of tuning out the world in this manner，especially when I am driving on California's overcrowded streets.A short time ago，however，I witnessed an event that showed me how being wrapped up in my own little world has kept me from being fully aware of the bigger world picture around me.

　　I was driving to a business appointment and，as usual，I was planning in my mind what I was going to say.I came to a very busy crossroads where the stoplight had just turned red.“All right，” I thought to myself，“I can beat the next light if I race ahead of the pack.”My mind and car were in auto pilot，ready to go when suddenly my trance was broken by an unforgettable sight.A young couple，both blind，were walking arm­in­arm across this busy crossroads with cars whizzing by in every direction.The man was holding the hand of a little boy，while the woman was clutching a baby sling to her chest，obviously carrying a child.Each of them had a white cane extended，searching for clues to navigate them across the crossroads.

　　Initially I was moved.They were overcoming what I felt was one of the most feared handicaps—blindness.“Wouldn't it be terrible to be blind？” I thought.Without realizing the danger they were in，they were walking right the path of oncoming cars.I was frightened for them because I didn't know if the other drivers understood what was happening.
