Reminded That I'm On The Sidelines

On the way to work this morning, and again on the way home, there was a car up on the middle island of the road .. . left from a prang I guess, no sign of driver/owner.

It struck me quite strongly, looking at that car, that I am like that car - on the sidelines, going nowhere, whilst the rest of life (the stream of traffic) passes by and continues on.

It didn't make me feel sad or depressed, or bad, was just a parallel that I saw. That I'm sitting on the sidelines, smashed up and not moving.

Guess I'm having trouble getting/finding the panel beaters, previous posts indicate that maybe I think the vehicle isn't worth repairing/is a write-off, or that I don't want to join back into the flow of traffic anyway cos of the fear of another crash - no matter how careful *I* am (there are maniacs out there on the road!), so no point repairing it. Am I waiting for the tow-truck, or for my owner to come back and get me, or for *anyone* to claim me/tow me away? I don't know, I used to have enough vrrroooom in my engine to take myself off to be fixed - but now there's no driver (aka motivation/dream/aspiration) so I just sit here on the island. Still don't know the answer to that . I'ts ok on the sidelines, I'm out of harms way, except for the weathering of time.

And what of the one who caused the crash ... looks like that one's been to the panel shop, but you can always tell a car that's been in a crash, or at least so the car salesmen say!
