Miracles... they really do happen everyday....
I have always thought that in life there are miracles... fate will intervene when needed and all this can happen effortlessly through attempting some sort of balance within your life. All of this is in accordance with HOW you live your life.
So, my thinking then becomes how often is this balance resorted, maintained, groomed ect...
I have had several instances where the only explanation would be this " balancing act" or fate or miracles or..... (karma)
I was buying groceries from Whole Foods, not much. As I was checking out I realized that I had forgot my wallet. My day had been so fast pasted I didn't even realize that I left the house without it. I had some cash with me and I was just going to put some things back when a voice from behind me stated, "Hey, don't worry about it, I will pay for them." I could not believe it. He just swiped his card, before I even had a chance to say Thank you, but.... All I could do was thank him for his generosity (It felt like I said thank you a hundred times.) I asked him his name, in a very soft voice the stranger stated "Damir". I thanked him again and one of the cashiers said, "Pay it forward"... I told them quickly what I do for a living and the stranger stated that he was a special educator in an inner city school. The stranger said that we were similar souls...
I ended up crying on the way home. I was overwhelmed by this single act of kindness. It really is so amazing what one small gesture can do that will in turn impact a person for a life time.
I will never forget that stranger's kindness to another complete stranger....
