Follow Me

Having recently moved to a new state,
We were headed to obtain a new driver's license.

We did not realize that there were separate offices
of the DMV for driver's license and auto registration.

A bit lost and a little confused, I requested assistance
from a local resident sitting in his vehicle. At first,

He proceeded to give me directions but quickly switched
to a different mode. In essence, he was saying, don't

Just trust my directions, but trust my lead and follow me.
Without hesitation, he graciously said, "Follow me". The

distance was more than a few blocks, and I was rather moved
by the kind gesture. Without question, I relearned 'Hospitality 101'.
