"I don't think that anything happens by coincidence... No one is here by accident... Everyone who crosses our path has a message for us. Otherwise they would have taken another path, or left earlier or later. The fact that these people are here means that they are here for some reason"...
James Redfield, "The Celestine Prophecy"

This quote resonates with me so deeply. My thoughts are wandering around this message today after losing another family member within a few weeks and another in the hospital dealing with a serious illness. The passing was expected this time so I am not mentioning it for condolence sake, although I appreciate the sentiment. I bring it up because I am reflecting on the people who have passed in and out of my life and their impact on me.
I'm not a fan of religion because I believe it does more harm than good. That being said, I am however a very spiritual person. I think our energies or souls are somehow bound together and it's up to us to search for the messages and significance of how and why certain people come into our lives but it's important not to spend so much time delving into the past that you're not present in the here and now.
The thought for today is to be mindful of the connection you feel with certain people and even places that you have experienced. There's most likely a lesson there for you.
As always, thanks for reading. I love getting feedback from my random musings so feel free to comment. Peace!
