| Travel from a Different Perspective |
The auditorium had emptied quickly after the performance, and the spectators had gathered in the lobby to greet one another. Conversations were animated and congratulatory as all had enjoyed the concert. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a woman and a man waiting patiently behind the crowd to exit. She sat in a wheelchair, and it was obvious that the group was oblivious to their plight. I asked them quietly if they wanted to pass through the throng to which they nodded. By moving a few chairs and a table, I was able to create a passageway for the couple to travel, and they were on their way with smiles and words of thanks. Sometimes, one can make a difference by noticing others from a new perspective and recognizing their unique situation. The bystanders weren't intentionally ignoring these people. They simply had looked over the wheelchair in the crowd.
