Last week on a Saturday,I was down town at a festival.Great music and fun atmosphere.I had walked past a table that a lady had set up.I wasn't sure what she was selling,I saw cds but I just kept moving.I went and moved my car like you have to do in the city so you won't get ticketed and then came back.
This lady came towards me and said,"Would you please come and spend just a few minutes listening to this piece of music,nobody has come over and you seem like you would be open to doing that. I sat down and put the head phones on and listened to this song and went thru the accompanying book.
It brought me to tears.The woman looked at me ,she was in tears also and said,"you get it!" "you get it because you are a mom of a son I said "of course I do!".She said that when she saw me that she was going to be bold and approach me.I looked at her and I said,"I know your mom!"It turns out that her mom taught me in college,and I also went to school with her!!!!!!
We talked about life and what paths we had taken.This woman was someone that I was in awe of due to her unsurmountable talents as a composer and pianist.She said that no matter what happened that day if she sold cds or not,it was worth coming to the festival just because we connected again. The funny thing was that I had thought about her a few weeks back,it was strange,and I think that God may have been preparing me for "something"....
We hugged and we cried...I said to her that when two souls meet it is the work of God,and she had said that,God made it happen.
This woman has led an interesting life,she has started over and I have started over in our lives.I think we have a purpose to fulfill.I know that if I don't keep in contact with this woman I may be missing an opportunity of a life time.I must seize my chance!
A collaboration of musicians and a collaboration of souls.
I realized that no matter what is going on in my life than I have to be a lamp,I need to shine,I need to give everything to God and trust in the process of life.I know that I have everything I need at that moment.
That day was a wonderful day full of love.I felt so much love at the moment that this old school friend and I met.
I guess the thing is that keeping my heart wide open that day was most amazing.I wonder if others have had similar experiences and how did they happen ? :)
