"Timing"

There is, I believe, a clock that not only keeps the time of day, but one that creates a source of synchronicity in our lives, which if you truly tap into, can and will make all the difference in the level of peace you experience in the midst of navigating this world. So let's see what webster has to say about not just timing.....but synchronicity as well. Timing: the regulation of the speed of something so as to produce the most effective results. Synchronicity: happening at the same time...occurring together...simultaneous.

This could be the makings of an intricate puzzle, and as well, asking yourself where this is going, but if you stick with me, it may be something that could change your whole way of thinking about yourself, as well as those around you, and how we all "fit" you might say, in this crazy world we live in.

First of all, at least for me, you have to have a specific desire, need, or goal in life before you will begin to see how either of these words actually work. If you aren't at least somewhat clear, then I think it's almost impossible to even be aware that they exist........and just to clarify....they can be available for any of us, but it does take thinking out of the box, or maybe a better term, changing your direction in life just a degree or two.

Now time is something that just is.....meaning it gets us from one moment to the next each day, but when you label any particular moment, whether it's a task, motion, thought, directions, activity....whatever it might be, it becomes a definable way in which to see how it relates to time. Ok....if I just lost you there, try this. I am sitting at my computer typing away, and I may know what time it is, but it really doesn't have anything to do with the timing of this particular piece of writing... meaning what I want to say, who I want to reach, when a particular person decides to read it and if it actually provokes them in any way. They could have an ah-hah moment, or it might trigger a memory, or they can even be surprised that it was something they had actually felt or experienced or had been pondering days before they read it.

So you can see how this already moves into the area of synchronicity. If you were thinking about this subject matter the day before, then two things have coincided...i.e. when you decided to read this article and your thoughts about it came together at the same time.

Now you can see how it's not time specifically I'm talking about.....but things coming together in life that just seem to click, fit, or connect in a way that sometimes can be very surprising. I'm sure you've put a puzzle together at some point, and would be in search for one particular piece to the puzzle, and once you found it, it gave you a great sense of satisfaction.........even just a little puzzle piece....what a simple thing. So I'm sure you can imagine, and most likely have already experienced these moments, to realize how very cool it is when you think something like that gets your attention. Sort of an out of body experience that you carry with you for the day, and you're not quite sure how it happened, but you would like to see it happen again. Maybe similar to dejavu?  Maybe not exactly. Dejavu is feeling or experiencing something that you think you've felt before...whereas timing and synchronicity are two things coming together that you didn't expect to happen.

So now that we are clear about what timing is, the trick here is, how do we experience those moments more often, or even for the first time if we've never felt it before. Well....hopefully by me writing this, it will encourage you to be more aware of "those times" either that have already happened, or those that are likely to or could happen if you opened yourself up to seeing them. Why is this even necessary? Because it's a way of seeing how magical the world can be and how if you pay close attention....those dreams, desires, prayers...etc, that we all think about each day, can and do sometimes fall in our laps at the most interesting moments. And of course the most important part of this, is finding the real meaning behind these moments. For me.....I can take one and find ten different ways to think about it, and usually settle in a place of gratefulness, which is such a wonderful feeling this day and time.

I call it a "God" moment. I can label it "Timing", magical moments, synchronicity....whatever strikes my fancy....but in the end, I know in my heart what it is.....and therefore, in search of them every single day. Our days on this earth can be very hard sometimes, and we are in bad need of more hope, love, and understanding of one another. So if you open yourself up a little, adopt a bit more awareness, I promise timing will become a most delightful thing that will bring more meaning to your life and the lives of those around you. Watch in amazement how two things can come together and bring with it a powerhouse of God and his workings.

Happy Easter to you all.
