Slowly and calmly I drove off and around for 10 miles before getting a honk by another car in the road.\n\nThe occupants of the other car were Hispanic, hardworking and in their work truck on the way home (I imagine). \n\nThe passenger of the other car had his window rolled down and was hanging out and yelling phone phone phone. \nMe still being disconnected and in robot mode looked at him confused like we were speaking different languages. Anywho, I looked around didn’t see what he was yelling about. So I decided to slowly stop and get out of the car to look.\n\nLo and behold, my cellphone was barely hanging off at the edge of the trunk and back window. Perfectly still. Waiting to fall, but never did.\n\nBecause of a kind Samaritan, who didn’t know me from Adam. Anywho, I got the phone and turned around to go home. \n\nNow, with heightened sense of awareness and mind racing. \n\nThen we see a black feather roll across the road.. I can’t make this up..\n\nAnywho, if I let my emotions dictate my driving I wouldn’t have my phone.\n\nWould the Good Samaritan have told me about it if he knew what was inside or would he have taken it for himself?\n\nPrivacy is in the story.. because if he knew “x” he would have waited. I would understand it too due to the current economic imbalances…\n\nSo in short, try not to let your negative or positive emotions rule you and don’t be too robotic. \n\nThey were watching over me today as well (🪶) and I am very lucky, grateful and thankful 🙏\n\nPs I couldn’t compensate them because they just kept driving…","farcaster":"https://farcaster.xyz/adrianandreev/0x4c8e939a7f686076967dc9603ce16435add8857d","firefly":"https://firefly.social/post/farcaster/0x4c8e939a7f686076967dc9603ce16435add8857d"}
