Like walking on a path. You walk in a direction that and you may see one area that you are in pursuit of. However, I have found that while walking that path there come various things along the path that there is a choice in which one either takes up opportunity with or has the choice to give allowance to some of the areas that come along while heading in one direction.
Directions are something, which probably are more than one direction I have come to conclude. I think that directions are link with goals and that there are many different things that come into a person's path when there is allowance for it.
Coming back to my voyage in lack of better words to this small town today's date there was not just one thing that happened. There were several things that happened. It started off with "thinking outside of the box" and is able to go back to this Royal Tyrrell Museum. I had called into the administration to see if I could go in and take pictures that were not normally allowed. I was not able to do what I wished for. A few things came about. One example - while waiting to meet with the administration of the museum I noticed an older gent, that was a security guard. I introduced myself, as I didn’t with for him to think that I was going to breach the museums policy on taking pictures. And here ironically the gent inquired about my last name. And I told him about how it is spelled and then he asked me if my I was related to something with the same last name. Well talk about coincidence the man had known my father many years ago in the Air Force. Isn’t it a small world?
Then thereafter I met with one lady within administration. As I knew already knew that the policy was that no tripods were allowed to take pictures in a conceptual way. I then asked her about the ceramic panel of faces that was on the front entrance wall. She explained to me what it was and then something came up. Within our talk I there was a request with regards to what I do and if I would be interested with my background in coming to work with them in the area of marketing. That was a surprise. I have never considered something as such as I am leaving for another city with work that is within the area of shopping centers. While she explained everything to me, I never throw all the eggs into one basket but it certainly took me by surprise. Then there came the idea of why not? She indicated that its' the most interesting places as up to six thousand pass through it during their peak periods. Then here in a small town I had a call from someone else when I arrived back to my hotel and they wish to speak with me tomorrow.
I came here for a vacation and voyage to relinquish my own self. I am not sure what the word is for that. But while making one step, it lead into a few others. Was that coincidence? I don't think so. I think it's the way in which a person sets a cadence within their steps and allows the possibility and allowance of several other things to come into there own sphere.
For each person that embarks on a trail within life I find that when we give the allowance for various things to come about. They do. Not everyday, but in the first ten days of my voyage I have found more things that have come into my sphere. I feel that everyone has the ability to work in a flow of abundance. And I do feel that some do harvest what can be rather than what cannot be. Perhaps it's tied into attitude.
I ended up leaving without the pictures I desired to take, but I left with much more...
Wow! This is unbelievable. To be opened to the possibilities, to tap into what God offer us through others. It's like a gentle touch showing us new paths and possible solutions to our unending search for purpose and wholeness. I'm so glad you were able to see this at work in your own time and space and who knows what it will bring into your life. I wish you the best my friend.

Again, good wishes.
G'day Jack & friends,
ReplyDeleteI feel you have hit the nail on the head with your statement about "Perhaps it's tied into attitude" going & leaving all stress behind, cam be likened with coming into a warm room from walking in a cold winters storm, removing a heavy coat & relaxing by the fire, The storm is now far removed, the danger has been locked out, so with a clear open mind you are more receptive to different paths as you come to them, you feel it, others see it, every one acts on it, is it really any wonder that good things happen, yes I agree with you , it's probably all in the attitude, may yours take you to the top of your hill, I think it will, now for heavens sake keep warm. we are expecting a temp of 26 tomorrow hahahaha
Go with the flow, my friend.....
