Dear Annie,
Finality and Dakota have responded to this beautifully! So often we feel the need to question and put things into some rational context so that our ego can be fed. Some things simply "are" and no explanation is needed (in fact, to put it into words that truly convey the meaning is woefully inadequate at best). Better, in my opinion, to simply experience what happened and allow yourself to really live in that experience...for that moment, for that "now". This experience will lead to the next and then to the next, as the time is right for you to build on what you have learned. To jump from "oh, this happened" to "what does it mean?" and, inevitably to "what will happen next?" rushes the process and bears no fruit.
Your experience was lovely and I thank you for sharing it. I'm with Dakota...thank the universe for the blessing. (Just for today show gratitude...)
All blessings to you,
Lesley
