Seeing the Reality

A father in Jerusalem hands his two children twenty shekels and turns away from the road, just as a bus with no driver comes down the street. What happened in the next few seconds, and how he told it afterward, leads Rabbi Asaf Prisman back to the opening pasuk of Parshas Re'eh.Why does the Torah say "see" about a blessing and a curse that were only spoken? And why is the blessing given without an "if," while the curse depends on one? The Chasam Sofer reads Rashi's words in a way that speaks to anyone who finds it hard to feel Hashem's hand in an ordinary day.
