I Followed My Sensei To School

It was a regular Saturday and I was in my car, driving to the dojo for the 1 pm Saturday class. I was going to the dojo located in Fallen Timbers mall, which is not very close to my house, like the Glendale location is, so I always left early to get there on time. I was making my way down Reynolds Rd, and there were a lot of cars in both lanes. Even though I was not late, I was speeding. Weaving in and out of lanes, I was passing cars left and right, and getting some road rage, for no real reason at all. Its funny how when your the one driving the speed limit and some one speeds by real fast, you think something like "slow down idiot!" but when you are the one who is speeding, everyone else seems real slow and you think "move it gramps!" So there I was, speeding, passing, and getting angry for no real reason, when I spot Senseis' car up ahead. I slow down and start following behind him and all my rage is gone. Because there in front of me, Sensei was driving at peace with the road. Sounds funny but thats how I felt, I felt that there was a man, completely at peace with the road, with the traffic. He wasn't passing, he wasn't speeding, he wasn't going slow either, he was driving with.... mindfulness. To me that was a great moment. In that moment I saw that it wasn't all talk when it comes to Sensei. Sensei is a man who lives the word he preaches. As I drove I bowed my head to my Sensei and I followed him to our dojo.
