I don't believe in coincidence. That's not new to this journey, I never really have. I strongly believe that the Universe is always looking for new ways to communicate with us, to get through all the drama and other assorted crap we surround ourselves with in this world. Sometimes it's subtle, a wink, a glance, a nod from across a crowded room. Sometimes it's a billboard on a desolate Midwestern highway.
For the more subtle suggestions, I have a rule. If I hear about the same artist/book/movie etc from 3 different people within a 10 day period and I think I will have some interest, I give it a go. This is especially true of music for me, the Divine speaks to me in music all the time. Universe - one verse. No surprise. Yesterday the Universe presented me with Adele. 4 times now, 7 days. So I download her 2 studio albums. It turns out I loved her before I had a name to the voice.
Interestingly enough, the song I am most familiar with on the two albums, was the song that I think I was meant to hear again at this very moment in my life.
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
Or would it be a waste even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements
Even if it leads nowhere?
This journey for me has been all about getting back into reality. Well... that's not exactly it. There are so many things I've held on to falsely, so many aspects of life I considered truths that really aren't. And so many things I once held incredibly dear that I'm working on making not matter as much. Although everything is meant to be as it is, and every moment and every person and every lesson in my life has shaped my today and there's not a line of my life story I would erase even if I could... I'm spent a hell of a lot of time chasing pavements. A hell of a LOT of time! Incredibly recently, I've committed to giving up, but there was still a nagging "should I?". I'm taking this gift as confirmation that this is the right path for me at this time. Why else would this one verse make it through all the noise, into my open ears and my hungry soul.
If you haven't heard her music (I live under a bit of an indie rock, so she's probably old hat to most of you) let me contribute to the suggestion. It may speak to you as well.
Share your Divinity,
Kimberly
