OK… I have another example of magical manifestation for you. This one is on a smaller scale, but the learning was big for me.
This afternoon, I headed over to Chipotle on Beverly Drive to grab some lunch. I was really craving their tacos, but a part of me wanted to dismiss the craving because parking at that time of day can be rather challenging. But the tacos were calling, and so I asked the angels to clear a parking space for me. In my mind, I visualized them clearing a parking space at the pack of the restaurant where their lot is located.
The area was very crowded, but I made my way to the lot, my heart filled with happy expectation… but there were no spots to be had. In fact, people were double parked and no one seemed to be leaving.
I was on the phone with Wes at the time, and he was visualizing with me… he’s learning to own his psychic gifts and we was certain there was a spot for me, so he said… go around the block. There will be a meter spot that opens up a ways down from Chipoltle.
But my heart was tinged with a bit of disappointment and my earth girl was not happy that the angels hadn’t “come through.” However the taco craving was strong and Wes was encouraging, so I drove around back to Beverly Drive.
The street was mobbed. Tons of cars bumper-to-bumper. Everyone was looking for a highly-coveted lunch rush parking space. I was saying to Wes that there were no spots to be found and that I’d have to figure out something else to do about lunch. He got rather discouraged too, assuming his psychic hit had been “wrong”.
But up the block a little bit there had been a traffic altercation. Nothing major, just a few bruised bumpers, but they were snarling traffic in the right lane next to the metered parking spaces. Other cars were getting annoyed and zooming into the left lane to avoid the gridlock. The SUV in front of me zoomed ahead quickly, and just then the backup lights lit up on a BMW in a parking space just in front of me. And they quickly backed out of the space, and in I pulled. And just like that, I had my parking space, just as Wes had predicted.
Now, I know this is “only” about a parking space. But it’s really about so much more. It’s about having faith and allowing for the universe to provide for us in the most efficient and effective way possible. The parking angels provided for me. I hadn’t specified that I wanted a spot in the back of the restaurant, only that I wanted one “at” the restaurant so that it would be graceful for me to run in and grab lunch. And they obliged. Just not it the way my mind was expecting.
That’s kind of like the plane ticket story. The universe gave me the plane ticket in the most effective way possible… and the parking space the same way.
There’s also a lesson in here about Wes and I learning to trust our knowing…. but that’s a blog entry for another day.
So let’s all take a deep breath and remember to TRUST. Sigh… I know that that is sometimes a bit challenging for this Taurus girl. But I’m grateful for all of the examples of magic that the universe is bringing my way.
Thank you, for the gifts, for the knowing and for the joyful reminder that life can be very graceful indeed.
A girl’s gotta have her tacos!! Amen!
