60. unexpected turns

I was looking forward to some time with the song this evening but I did not expect it to happen the way it did. Indeed, I was looking at rather ordinary day when some pieces of the afternoon got rearanged. In it, I ended up agreeing to follow with my family for an hour to few of my husbands teacher friends where we landed some time after 7 in the evening and ended up in what was called a music room, with all kinds of instruments around. My son got quite quick with the drum set and the host pulled out sack-pipes and started to play a great Scottish tune where my husband joined in with what was kind of an Indian drum. I´ve recorded a piece of it and must admit it sounded great and what with the unexpected factor it had even a bit more of a -wow effect to it.

Another cool piece of gifting of the day was that outside in the courtyard where we were invited for a tea (but only tea as I fast from grains today) there was a beautiful and playful dog of which one of my son´s felt slightly fearfull. But then, when we were about to leave, dog approached us with a ball in his jaws and placed it politely in front of my son, who picked it up and threw it away and when the dog came back, again politely placing it and seeing it got near to my son, my son was suddenly touched and transformed and freed from the fear. What a kind and thoughtful soul that dog was and so inspiring in his ways.

At times, when things change and plans move around, even if something we looked forward to is taken away from us, if we stay with the movement and the day, something else will come by, that needed to be so that very day and when right time for things we looked toward arrives, they too will come to us, if meant. So, today is to the unexpected things and turns, to surprises, to small silver linings in a day, to music and laughter and a sunny evening by the lake. Thank you.
