What Are the Chances?

What are the chances? 

We are trained from a very young age to look at life from a logical point of view. If things cannot be quantified or explained according to mathematical and scientific norms, there is not a logical reason for their occurrence.  

When one begins broadening their scope and accepts that there is a spiritual realm beyond scientific recognition (with the exception of some quantum physics discoveries), life becomes more mystical and magical.  

People who work in and volunteer for hospice services are often referred to as angels. This is likely because they provide comfort to patients and their families during the transition beyond our physical world.  

One such hospice angel – a harpist - came to play for my father-in-law in Montana. She played beautifully for an hour, and as she packed up, she shared special features about her harp, including that it had originated from Musicmakers Instruments in Stillwater, Minnesota. She hoped to go there someday.

What are the chances that this harpist from Montana would end up playing in the home of a man whose son lived close to the very place she wanted to go...and that she would bring it up in front of that son?  

Serendipitous, for sure!  

But wait...there’s more... 

That son brought his mother home with him to Minnesota and decided to look for that harp shop late one evening. There was a light on, but it was clearly after hours.  

As luck, or chance, would have it the sole person there was finished for the day and out at his car. The son and the worker were able to speak. 

 The son asked that man if he worked there. He did.  

He asked if he made harps. He did.  

He showed the man a picture of the harp and the man recognized it immediately, saying he had created the instrument and that it had won “best in show” in a contest...that a man had won it, but was no longer able to play and sold it (to the woman in Montana who loves it!).  

In return, he learned that a harp that he made was lovingly played and appreciated by a family during the hardest moments of their lives. He got a sincere thank you, and perhaps the very encouragement he needed to proceed with his craft. 

Divine Timing.

Life is far more beautifully orchestrated than we realize. This moment with the harp is a fitting illustration, but not the only way divine timing works in our lives.  

God, Angels, and our multitudinous Guides work on behalf of EACH ONE OF US and ALL OF US TOGETHER for the greatest and highest good. 

Sometimes these moments bring a tear to our eye. Sometimes they are frustrating as all get out – missing a flight, forgetting something at home and having to go back, running into a chatty friend when all you want to do is get home and chill. Sometimes it’s losing a job or missing out on something you really wanted to make sure you’re safe, or in the right place at the right time.  

When we can trust that we have a Divine Team working to make sure that the experiences and lessons we have during this lifetime are designed for the good of our soul and the collective, it’s easier to be more neutral (less stressed) about anything that happens. We don’t see it as something happening to us as much as something benign with our own happy ending nearby. 

What are the chances? Pretty good.
