Rideshare drivers intersect with unfamiliar riders in brief encounters to their destinations. These traveling moments can open paths to divulge back road stories bursting with obstacles, adversity, and pleasant past. This travel time provides a brief solace of silence, music, or—for inquisitive me—an opportunity to learn the stories of the people behind the wheel. These unique individuals harbor a range of motivations, goals, disappointments, dreams, and, yes, the drive to move forward—all concealed behind their countenance and clothing. But when they know I’m sincerely interested, these strangers often share morsels of their lives, a few wise perspectives, moments of current challenges, and inspiring chunks of hope. Then we go our separate ways, likely never to cross paths again. These brief exchanges make tiny stitches in the quilts of our lives, the rich backstories these memorable rideshare warriors have shared with me in our fleeting moments together.
