Zen in the midst of traffic

To be in harmony with oneself requires a great deal of effort for someone who is always busy with the ways of city life.The everyday struggle of beating time to rush for a ride going to workplace is a very tedious activity that somehow begins the tension of the day.What with the heavy traffic that we must navigate,the suffocating fumes churned by public and private vehicles,the reckless drivers trying to overtake and without any signal would simply slowdown after taking your rear space.Traffic enforcers who has no qualms in stopping or redirecting the flow of traffic in an instant without turning off the street traffic lights first,leads drivers into confusions as to what ought to follow, the traffic lights in green or the hand signal of traffic officers motioning to hurry pass and cross the street corner.Add to the cacophony of moving vehicles are the motorcycles which simply try to crisscross each and every space of the street without any concern if they might simply bump the sides of other vehicles also inching their way to escape traffic.The street peddlers that also competes with drivers in claiming side streets if not the center of the street with their wares like tall umbrella hungers lagged on their shoulders,or the push carts that blocks or impedes the vehicles. This are some of the things that would really make one truly annoyed and somehow make their time miserable.

Can we make another perspective of this scenario?What if we simply try to follow what is on going? Simply trying to observe and be immerse with the ways of the busy street will somehow temper our minds.But it would not be really that easy to achieve that if we will not be one with the present situation.Go with what is going on can be our way of dealing with the traffic in the streets.Be with the traffic and you will be free from the stress and again in sync with yourself.
