Happy New Year! Plungers and Roses

Nobody Wonders

Here’s one last post for 2023:

I got a call from an old friend today. She moved away some ten years ago, and now lives by a river in Tennessee. It’s always good to hear from the people you know, who except for who you were and who you are now.

We started talking about her health and then she said this:

“The strangest thing happened to me a month ago, and I’m having these strange things happen all the time.”

“What? Tell me’ I said.

“Well, you might think I’m nuts…it’s kind of gross.”

You see my friend and her husband lived on a houseboat, and one day, the toilet stopped up pretty bad, right up to the top. Houseboats have different sewage systems as you know.

She said she called her husband, because they did NOT have a plunger. She was in a panic because of being on a boat. If it spilled over, it would be a big mess. He was supposed to go out and buy one, but for some reason, he came home instead. He looked around the boat for something, and then, looked OVER the side of the boat as the river was running by, and there it was.

A plunger. Floating right by her husband, and he reached over and picked it up.

“WHAT ARE THE ODDS?” she exclaimed. “I was wishing for a plunger and there it was, right out of the river.”

Then she went on. She said one day, she wanted a single rose. Not sure why, she didn’t say, but then she said, “Guess what?”

“A one stem rose went right by the side of the boat. I picked it up. I did not do anything but WISH for it.” She spoke.

But she knew, I believed her. I told her of all my coincidences and we got pretty excited, about how the universe can just HAND you something that you truly wish…in your heart. In your mind. It’s happened to both of us. I guess it was like the phone call that comes out of the blue when you are thinking of that person, but haven’t talked to them in a long time. Like this friend of mine. She NEVER calls me. Ever. I really needed to talk to someone as I was feeling a bit lonely. Her call was all I needed…

Because you see this morning, I was listening to Glenn Beck talk about the possibility of a Nuclear War, the power of A.I. and how real it was, and then we watched a movie on Netflick, another DISASTER movie. You know one of those “you will own nothing” movies which are shown on every cable movie station? Hour after hour. Humanity is killed, etc. It’s like you are being buttered up for hopelessness. I didn’t feel particularly good after that, so yeah, my friend’s phone call was perfect timing.

 This afternoon, my husband and I took one of those horse bouncing toys that kids used to get in the 1950’s, to a neighbor’s house. It’s a young couple with a really cute little boy. I had saved that horse for over 35 years. I bought it for my son, who never touched it, (Any kind of ball were his thing) and I’d had hoped for a grandchild, but that seems to be lost forever. SO…I could sell it on eBay, but why?

We gave it to the young boy…who was happy to have such a big, brand-new toy.

What did I get out of all of this? Maybe that, somewhere, somehow, in the vast empty space and time, there is a power that comes to those when they need it the most. I’ve written a few blogs about this. It’s like “When you wish upon a star” magic.

My friend needed a plunger.

Our neighbors needed a wonderful toy that they probably couldn’t have afforded.

I needed someone to save me from suicide that long dark day so long ago. (Earlier blog)

So, I’m thinking. The world is such a mess. Evil is growing everywhere. Maybe- maybe if enough of us just WISH deep in our hearts that healing comes, the evil men trying to make us all slaves to their visions of utopia for themselves, MAYBE if enough of us just desire and want that to happen, deep in our hearts, maybe by some miracle, it will.

Jesus came once upon a time, and saved the world with kindness and wisdom. He was a miracle.

Maybe…this time around…we will get…HOPE. The hope we need, because God knows, they are trying to fill us ALL with hopelessness.

Before we got off the phone, my friend kept laughing after the discussion and said,

“I SHOULD have wished to win the Lottery instead of a plunger.” And she laughed.

This Nobody has a feeling that, this strange force beyond all reasoning knows EXACLY what you need…and what’s best for you.

You might not understand it, but some people call that ‘god.’ Some call it luck.

I call it the essence of universal love from the universe itself.

Nobody Wonders…about that the most. And will we ever figure it out?

Nobody Knows.

Everybody have a safe and Happy New Year…Let’s all ‘wish’ for the best…Okay? Right.
