When Fate Has the Last Word
In front of me stands a big truck
I’m trapped inside the parking lot
After a while, the truck moves on
And I can finally drive home
3 minutes more, full stop again
The lights are green, but plugged is the lane
An accident in front of me,
Just four, five cars in front on the street
No one got hurt, just sheet metal damage
But in my mind, it builds up an image:
If that big truck had not been there
Would I be the car with the bump in the rear?
In Love and Light

It was a good way of seeing that everything happens for a reason, according to our life plans, and in the end, to our favor.

Sometimes we will but often we need to trust that whatever delays or change of plans only happened for our support.

Definitely! And even the two involved cars might have been protected from something worse… who knows.

What might appear to be a hindrance could turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I have heard many stories like this. Cool poem 😀

That situation reminded me of a post I published a few weeks ago. Changed plans or different outcomes have always been the greatest blessing for me. Meanwhile, I often say thank you when plans don’t go the way I thought or wanted them to go. Thank you 😊

as a commuter for years, I often thought of things like this. when I was delayed for an accident or mishap of some sort, I first was a bit annoyed, then thought about had I been there a few minutes earlier it may have been me, but a series of things happened to make me be a few minutes later, and that poor person may have been injured or worse and their car smashed and at the very least their day made worse by being at that place at that moment and I had nothing to complain about.

Yes, exactly, Beth! Like you, first I am irritated about the delay or a cancellation. But later I either see that I was kept from something worse or I remember that there is always a reason for such “changed plans.” Thank you, Beth!

Ah Erika…and because of that moment understood that life is precious so you went home and hugged your surprised husband hugely, who right then decided he would love to take you on that surprise overseas trip for a month, which allowed you to buy a lottery ticket to which you win $20k dollars, which allowed all those renovations to your home you always wanted. All because you were ‘held’ by fate 🤣
A fateful verse indeed kind lady, a guide to forever 🤗❤️🙏

Haha, yes, that could be the Universes way of letting things happen for us… too bad, that too often we stand in our own thinking everything has to work our way… and we miss the many great chances we might never see… 💖

Erika, fate steps in more than we will ever know. There is a great movie called “Sliding doors” with Gwyneth Paltrow about a woman who in one storyline misses her train, and the other she makes the train. In the latter she catches her boyfriend cheating on her, the former she does not. Keith

Over the past 10 to 20 years, I learned to be thankful for unexpected changes of plans. As you said, fate will act more often than we even notice. And often we might not see why the Universe put us on hold or let things not develop the way we want. There is always a deeper reason and a greater context behind it. Thank you, Keith!

Sometimes you make your own fate and don’t realize you did. The book “Blink” is all about gut instinct decisions which tap a subconscious set of experiences. Keith
