Sometimes people come into our lives unexpectedly and their presence is an obvious indication of a higher, loving intelligence. If we’re not careful, we can be so caught-up in our own life plans that we blow right by these experiences at breakneck speed trying to do what we think is important,  missing out on the true abundance that life has to offer us far beyond our own monetary & time concerns.

I was fortunate enough this weekend to get slowed down & diverted from my own best laid plansto be able to reflect for a few days with a new, yet uncannily old, friend – a cross between Obi Wan “Ben” Kenobi and Indiana Jones, except they’re fictional, and Ben Jones is a real man (his sidekick Danny is no slouch either).

Our separate paths crossed and the visit was short as we walked together for only a few days; but worthy of more than a full chapter in life. I’ll spare you the details, as they’d mean more to me & mine than anyone reading this anyway, and as I continue to reflect on the impact maybe i’ll jot them down or reference them somewhere, sometime.

I’d like to say that I’m now returning to my regularly scheduled programming, but thankfully I can no longer do that, my perception having been permanently changed (or strengthened if you will) – somewhat of a paradigm shift for you Covey fans, but much more as a confirmation of already applied direction.

Ben,
If you knew who walked beside you on this path which you have chosen, you would have no doubts. I’m a better man for knowing you. It’s an honor to call you “friend”.

May you experience all the abundance the universe has to offer.
