12:47?am

I woke up. Noise. Red and White Lights flashing through my room. I put on my glasses and look out the window. A Car is up on the side of the road in front of my house halfway into a tree. Police, Ambulances, Firetrucks are responding. A tow truck will come later. Now they are struggling to extract the person from the truck. But they do. The person on the gurney has his/her arms over his chest. Not like in death, but like in a protective stance. One, Two, Three, Lift. The gurney is in the ambulance. I can see through the ambulance window. Movement. I wonder if there is a person number 2 in the truck. I can not tell. Slower than expected the ambulance leaves when the fire truck backs up and out of the way. I have three thoughts: 1) living in front of a fire station, this is a good place for a car to get into an accident. 2) Why did this happen in front of my house, for me to see? 3)Oh Jesus, that you may preserve and redeem life. Peace, Life, Love, flowing freeing like blood through properly connected uninjured veins.
