I am driving from Colorado to Califonia. My waitress at breakfast yesterday asked, "Are you going to Zion National Park?"
When I asked why, she said, "You know it's only an hour away?" I hadn't known.
Thankfully, I had left room for whims and was able to spontaneoulsy take this side trip which has made the whole trip more rewarding than I could have imagined.
By the way, that is literally true. When we partner with life rather than plan every minute of it, what unfolds is better than we can imagine. It opens the door for SerenDestiny (a life where the light is on in our eyes) and we are gifted with unexpected delights that enrich us.
I lucked out as it was a perfect winter day. Sunny and with no ice or crowds on the trails. Let's hear it for off-season.
Hiked up to Emerald Pools and marveled at this natural waterfall in the midst of the Utah desert.
Felt so blessed to be able to immerse myself in this sacred place in such ideal conditions, I decided I couldn't "rush off." So, I stayed the night at this lodge that looked out at, and was surrounded by, these awe-inspiring mountains so I could more deeply imprint and enjoy this sensory-rich experience.
Still can't quite believe this magnificent place was on my way - but not on my radar.
An extraordinary experience and totally unexpected.
How about you?
Are you leaving room for whims - space for SerenDestiny?
Do you listen to intuitive nudges and act on intriguing opportunities that pop up along the way?
Do you cooperate with what wants to happen vs. trying to control every minute of it?
After all, who knows what miracles await - an hour off the planned path?
