On Friday at about noon, I went to Greenlife for a client meeting. Have you been to Greenlife at lunch time? Whew!
As I walked to the door, I noticed a friend of mine talking with the gentleman who sells roasted chestnuts. I stopped to hear a story (he has great stories, by the way) and within 30 seconds had said hello to three other friends whom I hadn’t seen in at least six months from all different areas of my life.
For a brief moment, I was overwhelmed with the way that life can bring convergence, overlap, and a feeling of stability, as if everything that is happening is happening together and in sync with everything and everyone else. Rarely does that manifest for me in a physical space like it did on Friday. In that moment, I felt reassured in the path in which I was standing. Grounded in love from old friends and new work, both professional and personal, on the horizon…along with the in coming snow.
