Reflections
So it has been awhile since my last confession....mmm I mean blog! Things have been going really great. Working hard, life moving along nicely until yesterday afternoon. I was in Ontario, heading to my brothers house. I am sitting at a red light minding my business. And I heard the screeching of brakes and had the time to think: "wow I hope that isn't behind....." as my mind said ME I was launched. Up high into brief silence (later I find out that one of my car's safety features shut all power off to protect from fire or gas tank explosion)and into the car in front of me. The sound of glass, metal quickly reminding me of a head on crash I survived many years ago. I do a brief inventory of self. I felt myself in a ripple wave of energy during the crash, could feel Spirit around me AGAIN....or should I say STILL? I get out, to see the car behind me folded in half his engine on the road the rest is practically in his lap. I get him out as the driver in front of me is trying to help me. I calmly call 911. He looks at me shaking, (all of us were) tears down his cheeks and says: I am so sorry. I hugged him. And said I was just happy that HE was ok. He told us he was overtired and he was texting his girlfriend on his way home from work. When the reality of his choices hit him, he sat on the side of the road with his head in his hands crying. He just crashed his company car. Almost killed 2 people sitting at a traffic light. He couldn't even look at us the rest of the time we were together. 2 troupers came moving us off 104. Whole thing took almost 2 hours out of my day. But the ripple effect for all 3 of us will last a lot longer. The flash backs of my accident caused a huge emotional release. I have been reflecting on my life. From that day where my life changed course to where I was yesterday afternoon. Light years....I mean so much changed in such a short amount of time. Funny, time is not what it used to be to me. It is odd to feel this alive again. I am still shaking and stirred up emotionally....but I am well. His car went underneath mine. And it lifted ME UP. Above and out of danger. It took out my muffler system, may have frame damage, and will need a new bumper front and back. But I am ALIVE. I am aware of myself and purpose at a greater level. And no one had to die or come back to life to bring a message forth. The important message to all I know and love: DO NOT TEXT AND DRIVE. I have done this myself. Life is short enough without us gambling it away. Pay attention, if you see someone talking or texting get out of their way. Remind your loved ones to be safe too. Be present. Be in the moment. All is well.
