The Universe, him be up to something...Or not... I'm not actually sure...
I do know that when I got up at my regular time this morning I decided it was all too hard and went back to bed for another half an hour... which was weird all on it's own, but it's Monday, so I just went with it...
Then, even though it was kinda overcast and I was running out of battery on my camera, I decided to not only take my camera with me, but also to go for a walk along the river instead of my usual walk... but again, instead of going the same way I've gone the other two times, I went the opposite way, along Lefevre first, then down by the river (clockwise instead of anticlockwise I guess)... which meant that I was coming up the hill around 8am or so (give or take, I didn't actually look at my phone)...
I possibly wouldn't have been, but all the swans seemed to be being particularly friendly this morning... particularly one of them who just kind of stood with me for the longest time... so I hung out by the river for a while...
But of course, everything happens for a reason... so the sleeping in, the different walk, the camera, the battery that stopped working when it did, the swans, all of it... it was all designed to get me to the footpath opposite Carclew when it did... just in time to run into HP...
It's also weird... when I started looking for an image to go with this post, and some pseudonym for HP, I almost automatically gravitated towards the word "priestess"... in fact, I think that was the first work I searched on... which then became "high priestess tarot" when I worked out what I wanted... and I gotta say, there are a whole bunch of people out there who have designed their own tarot cards, with a lot of variations on the theme... but I digress... which I do a lot, I know...
Anyway HP and I used to work together... actually her group was the first temp contract I had as a "web content specialist" or whatever it was that I was mostly doing when I was in that building... and because I reported directly to her we kinda bonded.
And I don't think I would be out of line to say that part of that bond came from or ended up or whatever in something metaphysical... partly because it's something we're both drawn to, but I could almost guarantee that we've known each other in a past life... at least once... and I think some combination of that past life and who she is in this one gets me to the whole "priestess" place. And thinking about it, if I had to go through and make up my own set of tarot cards using the images of people I've known in my life, then I would have to say that she would definitely slot into the High Priestess card perfectly.
It's not the first time I've run into her on my walk actually... I think its at least the third or fourth, but never in that exact spot... and we chatted about this and that for a bit... then she said I was looking good and I ended up telling her a very truncated version of the whole walking story... and she asked, as she always does, about work, so I ended up telling her the story about the possibility of working from home... which was good actually, because it kind of really solidified the thought in my brain, and once I finish this post I have to send the guy an email before I go and do anything else...
And when the Universe has decided it's time for me to do something, I really need to pay attention...
