A Sign
December 18, 2003, amended December 21, 2003

In the midst of yesterday's tedium, I put out a call to the Mystery for a SIGN. I told her I wasn't putting any sort of stipulation on what kind of sign, just that I would know it when She sent it.

She sent it. At first yesterday, it was just a couple of songs on the radio that seemed especially MEANT for me. It's hard to explain. The volume of the radio hasn't actually increased, but the song seems louder, and the singer seems as if he's singing directly to me.

Okay, the lyrics aren't Shakespeare. It's the WAY he sang them:

It's gonna be all right, all right, all right
It's gonna be all right

The very next song was Calling All Angels, by Train:

I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

I figured I'd got my sign, and soon forgot about it. Then today, when I got the urge for a tasty drink, I looked inside the bottle's lid and saw these words:


REMAIN CALM, ALL IS WELL

The Mystery isn't letting me forget Her message!

This entry is cross-posted to this point. Now I diverge for a bit of sorta preaching. Other people can go be skeptical or even cynical if they want. I like that the Mystery constantly surprises me if I'm open to Her.

You maintain a sense of balance in the midst of great success.
