Back ally wisdom

I don't believe in coincidences. I do believe that if you pay attention to the wisdom and intelligence both within you and surrounding you, you will hear the messages and see the path that is meant for you. It's impossible for me to ignore this fact because I spend my life paying attention. On this particular day, walking down the sidewalks of Burlington, Vermont, I found myself struggling to adjust to the new (amazing and fulfilling!) life I have created. Change is rattling for human beings, even the most wonderful of changes, because it is not only felt by you but by all those around you as well...as I am quite aware of lately. But each moment I face in this transition that feels like a struggle, a message appears whether in the form of an unexpected phone call from a friend, one simple sentence spoken to me by my lover that is equal to what you could accomplish in 10 years of therapy, a sudden epiphany that clicks instantly things into place......or words splattered across a brick wall in chalk that I was lucky enough to happen upon before the rain washed them away. That's not a coincidence....at least not in my world.
