It’s always amazing to me the way that guidance comes in. Fot one thing, it’s truly on a need-to-know basis: most things are revealed in ways that mask their true purpose, appearing instead as random or even unfortunate events. It’s only in retrospect that they make any sense at all – if we’re lucky – and I suppose the ultimate retrospect will be after we leave the physical life, seeing everything for what it is.

But there are times when the universe lets you see under the hood for a minute, and marvel at the connections and underpinnings of things as they actually happen. I’m having one of those nights. The ones that get you through the other times, when everything is obscured from sight. On nights like tonight, you are permitted to witness how a hundred tiny miracles can add up to a masterpiece that has God’s unmistakable signature in the corner.

So I just want to mention, here in writing, that I’m awake enough to see it (sometimes), and I appreciate the truths that: (1.) there really are no coincidences, (2.) it’s wonderful to be surrounded by real friends and family, and (3.) things are rarely what they seem.

I’ll explain this stuff when it’s not 3 in the morning. Suffice it to say that I’m ready for whatever these experiences are here to tell me. And I’m grateful for any little bit of clarity I’m granted in this whacked-out world…
