Wiperblades

It's surprisingly difficult to find a decent picture of windshield wiperblades on Google.

It rains a lot where I live. I’m also in the car a lot. Often times, when it rains while I am in the car, I cannot help but notice the quiet tranquility the motion and sound that wiper blades make as they clear the windshield of rain.

One wiper passes the rain water over to the next wiper. Back and forth, back and forth it goes. The left wiper motions the water to the right wiper, and the right wiper nudges the water it gathers back to the left. One wiper picks up the liquid cargo that’s dropped off by the other.

The task at hands appears to be never ending yet the wipers work together in great unison. It’s a tireless effort working side by side in the days of precipitation. The two objects that in it by itself, is almost utterly lost, but when partnered together, becomes complete. Yet, despite the hard work during rain, there are always sunny days to look forward to. Isn’t that what a perfect partnership is all about?

It’s raining pretty hard right now and I definitely need a new wiper, but dammit the ones I want and fit my car are always sold out.
