I am not quite sure why I am surprised at an amazing moment, and yet I often am.
I was trying to describe these serendipitous moments to a friend. It is being IN the moment, time seems to stand still, rushing on around you as you are trapped in an inexplicable moment of time.
These were my moments from this week.
Thursday, while on a crowded bus on an extremely busy road I see, what I think is a peacock walking across the road. Cars have not skidded to a stop but are certainly making way. On closer inspection it is actually a mother duck walking her ducklings across the road. What I had thought was the tail was actually the ducklings walking behind her.
Friday, walking out the train station I hear violin music. I don't know why I am often drawn towards beautiful sounds, but I am. There outside my coffee shop is a busker playing the most amazing classical music. I can't think of a better way to start the day than drink a latte while listening to a violin.
And just to show not all serendipitous moments need to be wonderful uplifting. While sipping my coffee I feel something drop on my arm, ohh yes, on looking down a pigeon has pooped on my sleeve. I have to say not sure I get the whole you are super lucky when a bird besides you need to be pooped on but there you go. After much laughter and me scrubbing my arm to get myself semi clean I was ready to head to work. I can't say the last was good for me but it certainly gave he guys I was having coffee with a laughter point for the day.
Maybe it was there to keep me grounded and take myself too seriously.
Life is such an amazing thing when you really think about it ....
