Time is such a constraint and I have been reading an article that addresses our need to finish our to do lists, but what we could be doing is doing 80% to acknowledge
that our goals should inspire, not crush us.
Time is something that "worries" me. I tell myself I am running out of time to accomplish what it is I want to do with my life. But I am finding some comfort in a moment that I had today.
A week ago Wednesday, as I was walking down Amsterdam toward the 72nd St. MTA station, I paused to admire an adorable Cardigan Corgi. The dog was barking and it made me smile, so I talked to the dog and surprisingly, the owner started a conversation with me.
Her name is Elle and what a delightful spirit of a woman. Small, spritely and engaging we talked for about 5-10 minutes and then exchanged numbers.
Today we met for coffee and I had the most delightful time. We are going to keep in touch. She felt like my kindred spirit. A writer and such a fun woman, I felt we were meant to meet. And all because I didn't hesitate to pause at a moment, I could have kept walking.
I believe, there are no accidents, and the synchronicity of our lives, gave me pause to believe that life is not a track, it is a cloud that goes up and down and lands us where we need to be at that particular moment.
