Fate and Faith
I started thinking about fate and faith last night after the season finally of LOST. My good friend that I was watching LOST with is dealing with a time in her life that she either has to let faith and fate guide her. I was reminded of when I moved to Spokane. I took a leap of faith that my move to Spokane would be ok. I talked to her about the signs I saw just days before I moved out to Spokane. One afternoon in Minnesota, just days before I was going to pack everything into my grand prix and follow the road to Washington… I saw them in the clouds. I saw signs that made me believe that everything would be ok. They were huge and stretched across the horizon. Being a flatlander all my life I take appreciation in the fact that these signs were there. What I saw in the clouds were mountains. I can't explain it, but the cloud formation made it seem like I was looking at the mountains on the horizon. Mountains still seem magical to me.
I thought a lot about fate and faith last night. At work today I was looking at my calendar and realized it was May 24. I haven't thought about that date in a long time, but it has a lot to do with faith and fate. I remember dates for reason. Maybe these are my lost numbers…
12-18
01-05
02-11
07-25
And then 05 -24.
May 24 was the date I started dating, what I consider, my first girlfriend Diana. It's been years since I have seen her. I know that she is extremely happy with her husband and kids. When I think about faith and fate I have to look back on my life. I would not be where I am right now if I hadn't taken the leap of faith to leave Diana. I was unhappy and didn't want to be divorced by the age of 22. Even though we engaged I knew it was better for both of us… even if at that time she didn't see it. Diana wanted to live in Minnesota and be near her family... while all my dreams told me to move out west. Maybe I was running away from some of the memories central Minnesota gave me and I wanted to restart a new somewhere else, but the past does catch up with you.
No matter what I believe that the fate and faith had some role in where I am today. Not everything has been peaches and crème, but its made me who I am and I wouldn't have it any other way.
BTW I have started about 3 other blog posts that I hope to get out soon.
Patience...
