Messages come regardless of whether or not you are ready to receive them.
Doing the dance of life means that my entire being is in a state of aliveness. Stopping has not been part of my rhythm, but that has to change. I just can’t keep moving as I have been doing. I am thinking too much, dreaming too much, doing too much, and generally not being as present enough in each moment. While I am driven, I also need the rest that comes between the beats.
Those that know me are probably asking me why am I noting these above realities today of all days. Well the reason is simple. Today I met an angel; today I met someone who must be a healing force in this world.
While I was driving, I was in my own world. Dangerous. Yes it was. I wasn’t texting; I wasn’t talking on the phone; I didn’t even think I was lost in thought, but I must have been. I am always lost in thought. And then came the moment, the moment when I didn’t note what was going on around me. In that moment, I ran a stop sign and I hit another car.
I should have been more alert; I wasn’t.
The car I hit went flying flying across the road like a pinball in the games of my childhood; only this was no game. In the other car was a woman, a kind, gentle woman. We both rushed out our cars to check on the other driver. As I had my hand on my phone ready to call 911, she stopped me. We looked at her car; we looked at my car. Almost no damage. My bumper will need some work, her car was well loved and aging. She looked me in the eyes with a deep kindness and asked if I was OK. She asked me if I was OK. I looked at her and I wanted to know how she was. Her well-being was really all I could think about. I had just caused what could have been an accident with grave consequences. And she wanted to know if I was OK. I was and so was she. Miraculous, truly miraculous.
With that, she said, no worries and got in her car and drove away. As she drove away, I pondered what had just happened and I thanked God and the angels that must have been surrounding me. It was in this moment, that I realized that I had just met a beautiful angel.
The message was loud and clear; it is time for me to slow down, to stay alert, and to be more present in each and every moment.
Thank you universe for waking me up; I am alive.
That is an incredible story! Thank you for sharing that. So glad you had that encounter and doubly glad you’re okay!
