A bus trip with some unexpected occurrences
Several years ago, I was getting ready to travel to Greece. Getting to the airport entailed a 2.5 hour bus ride from my home in Pennsylvania to Kennedy Airport in New York. I had planned out plenty of time to get to the bus station and for a stop at convenience store for a bottle of water and a muffin for the long ride.
About half an hour before I was going to leave, I noticed there was a leak in an outside pipe at the side of the house. A wave of anxiety came over me and a million thoughts came into my head all at once. How am I going to get to the airport if I miss my bus? I had not planned on driving myself, as NY traffic is way beyond my driving skills. At this moment, my basic trust in the universe took a back seat to worry and anxiety.
Almost Didn’t Make it!
After a frantic call to a plumber and a discussion with my neighbor who was happy to assist with the problem, I was ready to jump in the car and head to the bus station praying all the way I get there in time.
The bus was just closing its doors when I pulled into the parking lot honking and waiving at the bus driver. He must have noticed the look of desperation on my face as he opened the doors and waited a minute or two while I parked the car. He got out of the bus, loaded my luggage and accepted the tip I gratefully offered. Finally, on my way.
The Universe Provides
By the time I fund a seat, I was stressed and more than a bit haggard looking. The man across the aisle from me handed me a bottle of water, telling me that I looked like I could use it. At the same time, the woman sitting next to me asked if I would like a muffin as she had a bag of them. I responded with a very grateful “yes, please”!
I looked down at the muffin she gave me and it was blueberry, the same kind I was going to purchase. Gratitude flowed to my fellow travelers and the universe. I got my water and my muffin, but certainly not the way I expected it to happen.
And the Moral of the Story….
There is a moral to this story. While the muffin that I would have gotten if I had gone to the store would have been sugar laden and high caloric, the blueberry muffin my new friend gave me was labeled a low-fat muffin. Which just shows the Rolling Stones were right- while we can’t always get what we want, we get what we need. Another reminder to myself that I am always connected to the abundance in the universe and the universe provides. I marveled at the intricacies of how all the various energies had to come together for me to get my muffin and my water. I smiled all the way to NY marveling at the magic of it all.
