So often as our journey through life moves onward like the tube in London. At times people will enter and become very close to us. Some may even speak to us and touch the very part of us that needed to be uplifted and quickly they get off the next stop before we could wear out the smile from the experience. Still others my sit uncomfortably close to us with rude behavior and rubbing us the wrong way. Sometimes we wanted to just have some space but each stop they kept there. Then when they leave you feared how the experience left you violated and distraught. But when they are gone after a time, you grow to realize what that experience brought you and although there was an uncomfortable experience, you grew. Then still there are times where you are the one who has to leave a special person who you didn’t even know how you impacted as you exit at your stop on the tube of life. And as you look back you see eyes wanting to be touched by you even for a little while longer.

It is not the time on life’s tube that makes us complete but what we do with the travel time and how we use this time.
When I was 10 years old. I went to the beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida my brothers and sister were all playing in the ocean. A little boy about 4 sat down next to me. He carefully started making a sand castle with his bucket. I was talking with him as he worked. He said to me “You can do anything at all if you really know what it is you are meant to do.” I was so taken with the words of this little boy. I turned my head and looked out to the ocean and when I turned my head the little boy and sandcastle was gone.
I knew that I had been visited by a universal blessing. The words were just what I needed to hear at the time. I never forgot them.
So no matter where your journey takes you on lives train or at the beach, look for guidance placed there by the universe to inspire you to become what you were meant to be. When these things happen the embryonic writings on the walls of our being light up and your burden seems lightened.

So what are your blessings in your path? How did they affect you and lighten your journey? How have you been “Touched.”
