When you can actually tear your mind away from the daily routines and to-do's, you will find a number of curious things around you. On my way to work each morning, I pass by a curious tiny event:

There is a father who takes his two young children to school each morning, but in order to get to their car, they must cross a busy road and climb an iron ladder - that sits over a stream of rainwater in the gulley - to the carpark facing their home. So, each morning, the father has his children stand close together in front of their home, all bundled up in coats and hats. He, meanwhile, takes their school bags across the streat and up the ladder to place in the car. He then climbs back down the ladder, crosses the streat, and shuttles his children protectively to the iron ladder. He helps them up, using his large fatherly body as a wall against the passing traffic. Its a beautiful picture, really, of the relationship of a father with his children.
