Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be...

I think we can have awesome, life changing days and with a little effort we can ignore their wonder and carry on as if nothing has changed and consequently, it doesn't.

Then there's that other hand. And on the other hand, I'm pretty sure this is one of those awesome, life changing days and it's, outwardly at least, nothing special. I'm not willing to ignore the wonder. Not willing to carry on as if nothing has changed. I've changed and I doubt that anyone but you and me will ever know a thing about it. 

That's the thing about life changing moments, eh. They happen whenever we decide, in this moment, to change our lives. It's not necessarily some external happening of momentous consequence, the lottery win or the big promotion, it can be a thought that pops into our minds when we're not doing much else with our minds at that moment. The frost on the pumpkin made glistening by the days first rays. The random drop of dew that picks up the colours of an early rising butterfly. It a 'just'. Just a thought. Just an earth shattering, mind blowing realization that the person you imagine you could be you can just let be.

Maybe it isn’t timing after all

For sure, timing plays a part but it sure isn’t everything. Loved the story of the guy in the cashier line who leans over to grab a candy bar and a guy barges the queue. He decides not to bother busting the creep. The creep buys a lottery ticket but the guy he barged in front of bought the winning ticket. Ya gotta love it, right.

Now there’s this couple in, was it East Vancouver? Driving along on their way to give their dog a run and they spot someone who looks like Bono hitchhiking and decide to turn around and give the guy a lift. And it is Bono. Can’t you imagine how many people were driving along in the minutes before and saw the guy hitchhiking and didn’t stop and today they’re hearing all the fuss on the radio about the people who did stop and not only got to meet Bono but have the story and the concert tickets and the whole great experience. Love this stuff. 


So, 'nuff said.
