Tales from the coffee shop

Hey everybody, Its Reggie. lam compelled to tell you this just as it happened just a few minutes ago. I started my day just like any other giving thanks, for waking to a new day and being in a state of gratitude. Glancing at my vision board to re-enforce my connection to the universal source of intention, and out the door I went. Having a good cup of coffee was the only thing on my mind; and I could taste it in all its goodness, as I pull up to my usual morning coffee spot. As I sat parked there, a felling came over me. I didn't feel bad. I just felt different. At that moment I couldn't place my finger on the source. Something fimilar but not yet part of my "experience machine". I was debating going to a newly open Starbucks just a few blocks away, that I have seen earlier in the week. My plan was to read for a few hours and this new place that looked quite and maybe would have less distraction. So I continued to the other location. I pulled up to the "Starbucks 2" and parked again, sat in my car and that same feeling came over me. I Decided to return to the Starbucks I always patronize. Thinking about what just transpired over the last 30min or so. Saying to myself "how hard is it to get a cup of coffee" and thinking what an I not doing to not manifest a cup of coffee. I finely settle into my favorite seat next to the "fix in" table thats what I call the counter at this very popular chain of Barista jockeys. I was there maybe for just a few minutes before I hear a conversation between two woman; mother and daughter I think. The daughter in her 20's is saying to her mother "He called me yesterday, he watched this show the secret or something You know the secret, and he believes theres this woman who can cure people with an illnesses like Aids. Huh? I don't know what I going to do with him, I cant be bothered with that "!@#$%". I told him don't you think thats giving people false hope", how. Without thought I was compelled to say outloud "Give it a try, You too can work miracles". Now these two woman looked at me like I had two heads. First I was evesdropping on there conversation and than had the nerve to blert out some wierd mumbo-jumbo that was to instantly enlighten them. It took me a second to relize what I just did. I froze. Our eyes locked onto each others, and the only thing left to do was smile. thats when she lowered her eyes and and seamed to glow in what seemed to be a timeless moment you can feel a different person from the one you just experienced and in that infinite moment she said, "OK I WILL" And thats when I realized she got it. What do you think about that?

Peace,
Reggie
