Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My friend and I were heading in her car to take a walk at a nearby lake and when she stopped and turned right a Harley-Davidson motorcycle came from a left turn and brushed the side of her car. He stopped and we pulled in behind him. My friend said to wait a minute so we stayed in the car and he got off the motorcycle and checked his right foot and ankle, then his left. He looked his bike over and we got out with our masks on. He then surprised us by saying everything was okay and waving us off. He got back on the cycle and took off. I was certain my friend would have to exchange insurance information, but no. I believe we were at fault, but frankly, I didn't see him until he was beside us and it was a gentle nudge that we felt. How relieved my friend must have been to not end up with an upsetting scene and a biker yelling at her. He was calm and gentle, and completely kind. He didn't lecture her, describe his experience or waste any words. I think he must have been Buddha!
