Being late

I was siting on my sofa when the phone rang. “Ok, I’ll be there in 20 mins”

“Car keys, where are the fuckin’ car keys?”

I looked for them for about 15 minutes to realize that the keys were right in front of me on the coffee table.

At that moment I knew! I knew that something didn’t want me to find them and delayed me until some unhealthy inappropriate thing passed.

There are some stories about people surviving 9.11. There this superbusy businessman who took his kid to the kinder-garden for the first time that morning.

Someone just missed the bus. Someone spilled coffee and went back to change the shirt.

Someone’s kid got ill and had to stop at the drugstore. Another one, got his new shoes that morning, and walking to work stoped to buy a patch for his foot. While in that place the first airplane hit the building.

Some rational people (MBTI – NT) might say that those are just coincidences and it could happen to anyone.

But in my opinion, those delays come from beyond, as a helping hand in avoiding a terrible disaster. It is your choice to believe or not. But believing makes your life easier.

It reminds me of a movie from my childhood, The adjustment bureau. I strongly recommend it.

Even if I am a rational ENTP, I find those delays annoying but at the end of the day I thank God and the Universe for protecting me once again.
