Law of Attraction or Being in the Flow?
We were on our way to the city to meet Jim and Fern who we haven’t seen in many years. They were in town for a conference. Our plan was to meet them for lunch, at Green’s, the vegetarian restaurant run by the Zen Center, located in Ft.Mason, the historical landmark.
I needed to be back in Marin for a series of coaching calls beginning at 3PM. This would give us plenty of time to visit, have a leisurely lunch and catch up and maybe wander around the Fort.
It was an incredibly beautiful day. As we were driving over the Golden Gate Bridge, I noticed all of the people and bicyclists making their way over the bridge. I couldn’t believe I had never done that myself. So I said to Annie, “Someday lets walk or ride our bikes across the bridge.
It was great to see them. I had known Jim for over 30 years. As we were finishing our leisurely lunch it was time to get outside. As we were getting ready to leave, Jim said that he had a favor to ask me. “Could you drop us off at Vista Point, so that we could walk back over the bridge?”
I said,”Sounds great, we’ll do that with you.”
We got in our car, drove over the bridge and parked at Vista Point, and took in the awe-inspiring views.
Our plan was to walk back with them to the North Tower. We began our walk until it was time to say “good-bye” and turn around.
As we were saying our “good-bye’s”, they mentioned that they were thinking of going dancing that evening. They said that they had been hearing a lot about West-Coast Swing, but didn’t know much about it.
Both Annie and I simultaneously replied, “We have been working on this dance for over a year now.”
And then they asked, “What’s it like?”
We took that as an invitation. “Watch, we’ll show you,” we replied.
And before you knew it we were dancing at the foot of the North Tower on the bridge.
As we got back in our car and drove back to our house, I kept smiling as I was thinking, Was this the Law of Attraction working or just being in the flow?
I’m not really sure and I don’t even know if it matters, but either way we had a great day.
