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!
Thank you. I think I met an angel in similar circumstances with a similar message. I was driving and I bumped up on the curb damaging two tyres. A man on the pavement came towards my car as I got out to speak to me. I realised it must have been frightening for him to see my car almost mount the pavement and started to apologise. All he had were kind words for me and said even if he had been closer to me, he could’ve got out the way! He walked away. Later on when I was waiting for rescue company with my partner he walked by again asking me if I was OK. My partner did not seem to have seen the man.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I love the way some people/angels simply show up.
