"Synchronicity, an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see."
Carl Jung
Forever willing to exchange friendly smiles with strangers, I smiled at the woman behind me in line with groceries. I placed the divider up separating our orders and she began to place her items behind mine. Jokingly, I said "Don't worry, I won't pay for any of yours!" She laughed and we agreed how wonderful it would be to do just that.
Headed towards my car, the woman came running after me. She had a huge smile on her face and she was laughing. "Guess what," she said, "the guy behind me just paid for my groceries!" Joy spread between us and we hugged like old friends. Apparently, the man had overheard our conversation and was prompted to be generous.
The exchange between this woman and myself was not about scoring free groceries. This event was about total strangers being fun human beings, not guarded or scared. This world needs us to reach out to each other, friends and strangers alike. Our world is filled with compassionate people, just waiting to be kind.
