I have a very good friend who lives about 1500 miles from me.
We were emailing while I was on my trip, only to find out she and her husband were flying to Denver the morning we were changing planes in Denver. We arrived in Denver within minutes of each other. She phoned me just as my plane had landed, then met me at our gate. We had a little more than an hour together before we went to our departure gate and she went to join her husband where he had picked up their baggage.
If we had planned this, it wouldn’t have meshed as well. Possibly the flights would not have synced…or they might have been delayed…or one or the other of us would not have been free at the same time.
It was a gift from the Universe, very much appreciated! There is a power in friendship and in staying in touch. We both were happily surprised by serendipity. We are part of the jet age where instead of getting together at our homes, we meet in an airport when visiting family. How wonderfully funny! I’m sure we both needed it.
