We have a lot of Amish around this area. What's sad here is that there are a number of accidents involving cars that have rear ended the buggies.
I also have a healthy respect for them. There are so many times when I wish we all led simpler lives such as theirs. It is a lesson indeed... we make our lives so complicated when they really don't need to be.
I too wrote about this gesture by these amazing people:
