I am tempted to write about a day several years back when I felt that I was completely in tune with the universe.
It was a normal fall day and I was driving in Placitas, NM, on the way to my wife's mother and fathers house. My friend lives off the main road to Placitas. On the way up the hill, I had an intense feeling that my wife and I should stop by his house, but we did not. We continued on to my in-laws. I could not shake the feeling that I needed to go back and see him.
On the way back to Albuquerque, when we drove by his turn-off, the feeling was so strong that turned in. My wife protested, but I could not ignore the need to visit. When we arrived, it took him a while to answer the door. Once he finally did, he was in tears. It so happened that he had just found out that his few month old niece has just been found dead in her crib.
He was so distraught and upset that we just sat with him and helped him come to terms with this terrible news. He said that we very well may have saved his life that day.
I was so amazed by my ability to listen to the universe and "know" that my friend needed me at that moment and before!
