A Gentle Way Forward

I walked over to the little gathering around the yellow van. They seemed quite tangled up in their small dispute, crowded near the rear bumper. Instead of knocking anything over, I gently placed the tip of my silver wand against the van's side panel and gave it a soft, steady nudge. The little wheels rolled forward smoothly, clearing a wide, peaceful space between them all. Once the path was open, they quieted down, looking at the clear path ahead. Sometimes, just creating a little room is enough to settle the restlessness.
