With everything going on in the world some people get lost in the mix. The everyday mundane becomes their existence and the very thing that turns their life into the living sims. Being in tune with myself and the universe I have come to peace that I can experience both extremes. I can feel in awe of seeing birds fly, and usually I would never want to hurt a fly. But there are some pieces of me, that flips people off when startled and gets so angry that I cry. I will try to keep the peace until the fire within me rises. I am calm and forgiving but I am ruthless and will never forget.
Yesterday while leaving work, I almost cut in front of someone, and it triggered them. He didn’t just beep the horn to make me aware, he held it down for a while. I was startled and then angry and I flipped him the bird. He slammed on his brakes, swerved his car then got out of his car and berated me. “If you make a mistake you should apologize”, he shouted. While he is correct with that statement, his delivery was way off. I was not right, but neither was he. I just sat there and smiled, waiting for him to be done. Ironically, he made a U turn. Strange, completely erratic. I just kept going over the situation dumbfounded. The old me would have cursed him out, matched his energy. The new me, realizes what happened and calms down quicker. The situation was over as quick as it started. On the way home, I must have been cut off so many times all I could do was laugh. Instant Karma.
There are so many points, when I say okay, I get it. Today I went to Costco, I ordered pizza and was waiting for my order. When I first placed it, there was no line. Within 5 minutes it was overly crowded. I was just taking in the moment and looking around. Eventually people started to complain that they had been waiting. I figured I would wait a while, because of what I ordered. And I did. Then right in the middle of chaos, I started laughing. I get it universe. When you are waiting for your order with the universe, sometimes because of the depth or what you ordered you may have to wait longer. It is still being cooked. However, there is a lot more to getting a pie, than a piece of the pie.
I urge you to slow down and recognize the signs. Don’t get lost in reacting so much to the world around you.
Today while running errands, each time I caught people bringing their carts back or when I was bringing mine back. Saved trips for all of us, and even brought smiles. Last week, I asked someone if they were done but the first couple of times, she didn’t hear me. The man next to her said “she would have followed you all the way over there”. I should have turned around and said yeah and? I was trying to save her a trip. The truth of the matter though is it has nothing to do with them. God/universe whatever you call it knows your intentions. When it played out today I got it back tenfold. Such a different experience. Some people want to stay mad, let them. Choose to look for the love and synchronicities. Thats where the true magic and beauty lives.
