“Do you believe in God?” I am asked by a polished gentleman; trim, muscular and dressed in tailored clothes. He tells me of his boyhood dreams to be a baseball player which was derailed by injury to his rotator cuff. “Now, I am figuring out my pathway. Maybe reaching out to struggling kids with a similar dream to my own. I feel the need to be of service so I ask God where do you want me now.”
I admire the smile and charisma he feels and not being derailed by life. As we talk the manager passes several times, maybe concerned with the amount of time I am spending with the customer. It's funny how life works because at that same moment the gentleman behind apologizes for groceries he has missed and needs to run out of line to get them. His delay provides me with added time to share with my new friend.

A straight Path is seldom what the Universe provides. The twists and turns of our Journey will provide the strength we so desire for growth and a peaceful well-being. |
