Yesterday morning we gave ourselves a surprise and took a walk along the beach hoping to catch the sun as it began to rise.
The beach was deserted…birds were out hunting breakfast…dolphins out having fun when we sat on an old bench by the water and waited for the sun.
As the first rays peeked over the horizon…announcing to the morning the night was done….I took out my phone and through the wonder of modern technology played the Beatles…Here Comes The Sun
There is no way we could have predicted what would happen next…but as we walked off the beach…on our phones…our daughter sent a text.
She has started listening to music for inspiration each morning…a kind of a musical way to pray…and wanted us to listen to the song she chose that day.
Of all the songs in all the world…yesterday…her chosen one….
Was a song by the Beatles…you guessed it…Here Comes The Sun
What are the odds, we thought, as this particular morning went along…that we would all be listening…at the same time…to the same song!
Later that morning we decided to head to our Farmers market…where the two of us were stunned to find in one of the booths a sign made out of license plates that read…Here Comes The Sun.
We told the artist our story about the beach…our daughter and that song…
His eyes widened as he told us initially he wasn’t going to bring that sign along.
It was only at the last minute he said, as to the market he was about to depart…that he decided, on a whim to bring that particular piece of art.
We were amazed…the artist was happy…and our daughter was enthralled because Here Comes The Sun can now be found hanging on her bedroom wall.
A reminder of how things can happen in our life for reasons we may never ascertain…
Moments of serendipity.. wonderful moments…unexplained.
Perhaps all we can do is revel in the fact the Universe chose us at that moment…and when our serendipity is done….sit back…smile and thank the Universe for our moment in the sun.
