Do Used Books Speak to You? - Lessons in Synchronicity
I am floored. Truly.... I'm almost spooked
I am constantly amazed by how simple, seemingly "common" events in our life can be meaningful...or ignored. The choice is up to us. To the extent you're caught up in yourself, your "goals" or other things it's easy to just tune out what might be a symbol or a sign about how you should live your life.
I've written about this previously, but I have become a believer in the importance of synchronicity. Sometimes thing just show up in our lives for unexplained reasons. These events or people can easily be dismissed...or they can be seen as a sign of something larger.
I ordered an out of publication book from Amazon. Great. Just got it. Cool. It's used. ok. decent condition and then I open it up. Wham!
This is what I see....a note. This is not a joke or fiction. This is the inscription verbatim
Happy Day of Birth. Happy Life. Happy Living. Happy 40 years more. This book talks a lot about the kind of ways I like to be alive and celebrate it. I thought of you when I read it for the first time. Maybe it is okay to make small art when ultimately it means you're using the biggest canvas possible - your life. Much love.
Was the note written to someone else or to me? My left brain concludes it's to another...my right brain thinks otherwise. This is so profound and so on point in so many ways. I honestly want to cry. It's almost like a message from god's mouth to my ears. Things happen for a reason and I'm guessing someone upstairs is trying to help me along the path. Where it leads I can't yet know
