Today I went to the library. Hadn't been for over a week.
When I go there, I went straight up the escalator and I went to retrieve the book.
As I got up to the top, there was a book right on display...
Its title is "You Are Not Alone."
Of all the books to be the very first book I saw...
Then when I went to get the book, it was easy to find,
I got to go straight to it within seconds, without having to look for it.
The last time, I was having a hard time looking for it,
it turned out that I was in the wrong isle.
Sometimes you're looking for the right book in the wrong isle.
So someone was sitting in my spot again, so I went to the front, again.
I read most of the second chapter.
Something told me to stay and keep reading until 5 o'clock.
I'll write about what I was reading about today. In the next post.
It's about the drive of control.
Anyway, as I was going back up the escalator to put the book back,
I got a little nudge from someone behind me
and a voice says, "hey, nice coat!" I was wearing my leather trench coat.
(I'll tell you the story about how it came to be mine).
So I turned around to say thank you.
When I turned around, he saw that I was wearing my Union Jack hat,
and he says with his British accent, "Nice hat, too!"
He asked me if I was from England. It turns out that he is.
He's only been here since the summer.
Just a chance meeting. Been meeting people unexpectedly.
It was a nice encounter. Just seemingly random.
But had I left earlier when I was getting the urge to go,
I wouldn't have been on the escalator at the same time.
There was a reason why I was being 'told' to stay until 5 o'clock.
The timing would have been off if I had left earlier.
I was just appreciating the breeze that comes from the air flow
that hits me in the face gently as I ride up the escalator,
it's one of my favorite parts about going to the library.
I never expect to meet anyone when I go there.
I just go to read and take notes, then go home.
It's always good to make friends.
Never know who we'll meet, or why.
But everyone knows something we don't. Everyone.
