Ten years ago, less than two weeks after starting this blog, I wrote a piece called "Serendipities 1". It's astonishing that I haven't written another essay on this topic since then, isn't it? But here I am, exploring serendipities at another life moment, about a completely different kind of incident. But not that much different...I keep spiraling around the same mystic tornado, just moving up or over or around the intense spiritual energies in updated ways.
This last month has given me opportunities to redefine my life focus. It isn't a case that I have moved beyond England and English church music -- there is still something so potent there that they will never not be part of my system. However, through some chance online discoveries about two months ago, I have become increasingly inclined in my more New Age direction. If you go back to "Digging Down on the Weekend" (March 31), you'll see some of this unfolding. In a single month, my "intersection" seems to have evolved to something more like Goddess-Quantum Astrology-Earth Changes. What I understand about astrology I can fit on the head of a pin (I am starting the process of at least learning a few basics), but what I have discovered is that there is a community of people out there as interested as I am in the coming earth and human spiritual transformation (way ahead of me, actually, in gaining expertise and exposure). It was always hard for me to fully embrace this futuristic aspect of myself, possibly because the other side of me was holding back in an effort to make my church music mark. Now, as a civilization, it seems we've crossed some kind of line and I can make this leap.
Still, the church music I love is not irrelevant in this regard. I believe it has a beauty and energy signature fully consistent with the coming age, and that it may play a key role in how all this unfolds, for me anyway. Similarly, my deep connection with English soil and the stone cathedrals continues to resonate. The music of the spheres needs grounding for us on earth, and all of this seems to be truly "of a one".
So, the serendipity is that yesterday, I listened to a remarkable interview, and within about an hour, I had found my way at least five miles to my favorite used bookstore, and bought three relevant books, two by one of the people I had just heard speak. This wasn't serendipity completely out-of-the-blue, it was serendipity following a hunch. My gut told me I'd find some books that I needed, and I went for it. I am thankful. And if I needed reminding, these are the kinds of serendipities that will characterize the Aquarian era.
