My Guardian Buzzard

Morning Meds. 6 13 19

I somehow have the Turkey Buzzard as a totem, would not have been my first choice, but they are an awesome bird.

I drive thirty-five miles to work. Twenty miles of it is a state two lane and the other fifteen is a county two lane.

I am on my way home I see a buzzard parked in my lane.

I was running about sixty mph, so I slowed down expecting him to fly.

I ended up having to slow to about 10 to 15 mph before he finally took off.

I didn’t see anything on the road for it to eat.

I think, well that’s different and cool and I toss up a thank you.

I thought it might be important.

When I got onto the better state highway and was running about sixty-five, I saw the car in front of me slam on its brakes and head onto shoulder. I start braking, while an oncoming semi swerves onto the opposite shoulder to let someone who was passing get clear of the car ahead of me.

Everyone missed each other thankfully.

There’s a good chance that if I hadn’t slowed down for the buzzard, I would have been ahead of the car that swerved onto the shoulder.

I had to ask myself, I wonder if the buzzard blocking my path kept me out of a bad wreck.

I think it did.

The universe conspires to help us.
