Encounter
Haha, I don't think anyone beats me in terms of failing to update their blog that is supposedly still alive! xD It's been 3 months! I'm deeply sorry for the delay *bows* Why, you ask? Eh, well, life happened :P I'm going to update more regularly from now on, okay? ^_^ (at least during the summer lah)
Besides my last final exam that was today (yay!!) and me sort of being in vacation until summer class starts, an amazing experience happened to me today and I absolutely wanted to share it. Have you ever had felt the subtle, mystical feeling when you seem to attract things around you with your thoughts and you feel so very supported by the invisible? It's what happened :)
I had finished my final exam, and I decided to simply go to a park to enjoy the sunshine while doing a Sudoku from the Metro newspaper that I kept. As I watched the clouds float by in the blue sky and the tiny leaves appearing on the trees, I felt a lot gratitude and contentment for just being.
At the same time, I felt as if I was wasting a lot of my time lately with just studying, and I think I was waiting for a sign of some sort inside of me, to push me to keep on growing. Perhaps it was because that I had adjusted my frequency at that moment that the events followed?
An old man passed by on his bike and smiled at me, and I simply smiled back before I returned to finishing my Sudoku.
Then I heard a voice talking to me - the old man that passed by a few moments ago returned! He started to chat with me. oO He asked me what I was doing, and I showed him my Sudoku and explained him the rules. I continued to go along with his conversation politely, even though the inside of me was like "what does this man want = =". I learned that he was the landowner of a few shops, and he had decided to come out to relax because he was feeling stressed. Then...
Him: Can you show me your right palm?
Me: *showing him with a questioned look*
Him: *examining* You're extremely generous!
Me: You know how to read palms? o_O
Him: (explained something with complicated terms that I didn't really understand, but basically meant that he learned to read palms) I read palms for a person's personality. The left hand is what you are born with; the right hand is what you decide to do with it.
Me: Oh wow, I never had my palms read.
Him: (continues) You're very good at knowing what others feel and think. However, it is also because of this that it is hard for you to make decisions.
Me: *laughing* You got that right.
Him: These lines show that you are a good communicator. This shows that you have good leadership. Well, choosing teaching was a good choice for you. (I told him that I am in elementary education)
Me: That's nice to know :)
Him: You're guided a lot by your subconscious. You also have a good intuition. You don't always follow them through though. You tend to hesitate too much because you think too much. Yes, you're definitely a thinker. Sometimes, you need to stop thinking so much, and simply be. Trust your instinct. Let go of your worries, and go with the flow.
Me: *nodding* Yeah, I definitely understand what you mean. I know I think too much.
Him: This part shows that you're someone who enjoys life.
And this is your life line. You have dreams, but you're someone who's realistic about them. However, try to let go and make some of your dreams become reality - you can yield some surprisingly good results.
This line here is your heart line. It's deep - it shows that you're someone who needs deep emotional ties. The line ends at this place - this signifies that you are someone with romantic ideals. However, there are a lot of ramifications at the end - this represents emotional disappointments. It surprises me that you would have so many. Don't let the disappointments get to you so that you become numb to them.
You need to break some of your response habits. For example, when someone's words hurts you, instead of responding by being quiet like you usually do, give a response of some kind. You don't need to be violent, but simply give a response. We build a lot of response patterns with each other: others expect us to react a certain way, and we expect them to react a certain way as well. However, when someone responds in an unusual way, we suddenly go "oh what's going on here" and we become more aware of things we did not notice before.
Hmm, comparing both of your palms, you seem to have less self-confidence than before.
Me: Oh really oO
Him: You need to trust yourself a bit more, and not let situations pull you down.
Also, you definitely have a lot of generosity. You would help everyone if you could. However, I think you need to learn to let go and know when to stop. If someone is looking for your help, it could become something productive. If someone does not want your help, it will not be fruitful no matter how much you try.
You're someone flexible. You're not someone who's rigid and narrow in their way of thinking. You know how to maintain that flexibility at the right amount as well. You know how to put yourself at the right distance.
I think he said so much more, but that's all I can remember. We conversed much more, but this should be the gist of it. I was amazed how he saw through me sometimes, and some points he mentioned surprised me and made me think twice. When I think of myself, there are a few characteristics that pop up - but I never thought myself in terms of generosity. oO Perhaps my definition of generosity was too narrow. And me, romantic? Oo Perhaps, in some ways. I also never considered my intuition before, but it explains and connects with many things that happened in my life.
I was really touched to hear some words that I wanted to hear since a long time. I was amazed at how something I was looking for came to me (of course, it was possible also because I was receptive and open to it). I didn't feel the usual distance I felt with a person because of age gap - I suppose we were attuned to a similar frequency.
I decided to follow what he said and go along with my intuition, and I shared some things with a stranger that I never thought I would have. Perhaps I could have done more for that person, but I think I have already surpassed myself in some matters. This experience opened up possibilities for myself that I did not think were possible before: to be able to have such a profound conversation and feel a deep connection with a complete stranger. I spent the rest of my day delighted, in awe, content, energized.
An encounter between a girl who is beginning her life and a man who has seen the waves of life. I think I have to write something about this someday - a poem, or short story! :D
I think that if we get to meet again, it definitely means that we have a lot affinity with each other. Until we meet, perhaps I will to be able to gain more insights to what he said, even though a lot of what he said confirmed what I was already thinking. Or perhaps I will show him that my palm changed again! ^^
I watch in amazement as everything seems to fall perfectly in place.
