Power Steering

Posted on May 22, 2017June 1, 2017 By Sister Rain

Reporters keep commenting that President Obama looks so happy when he’s driving a golf cart, speculating it’s due to,the fact that he hasn’t driven anything in eight years. I know how he feels.

I think driving is the thing I miss the most since my sight became compromised. Imagine not being able to get in your car whenever you want and go anywhere that you want. Inconceivable, right? Until it’s not because it happens to you, like every other tragedy or bad thing you hear about. You take it in, feel empathy for the person going through it and then get on with your life. I don’t blame you and I do it too, even after all the unbelievable things that have occurred in my life recently.

I was just about to say how envious I am of President Obama, back behind the wheel. But then I realized that he used to be the most powerful person in the world and no longer is. Me? I’m working really hard these days to take my power back. Who’s in the driver’s seat now?
