On the way back from an errand, I passed a construction site. Nothing unusual — fencing, cones, a half‑finished sidewalk. But what caught me wasn’t the work. It was a single plastic bag caught on the rebar, fluttering wildly in the wind like it was trying to escape. Cars rushed by. Workers kept working. No one looked at it. But for a moment, it felt like the only thing in motion that wasn’t following a plan.
It made me think about the parts of our lives that get snagged on something we didn’t see coming — not stuck, just… held in place by the wrong thing.
Can you think about something that got caught where it didn’t belong?
