A few minutes ago I was sitting down, munching some granola and flipping through some camera ads laying on the table. I was mulling over some dissapointment from the events that had transpired over the past hour. But then, I had a realization. A realization of how seemingly separate events happened to bring me to experiences I couldn’t have possibly planned for. I have to chuckle at how these events and my intentions have shaped my experience today!
Today I was to meet some friends to hang out and have fun; we’d been doing this for a few weeks and I was really looking forward to it. I was very much anticipating seeing one friend, whom I had missed after her performance the night before. She is the one who originally invited me to these afternoons. I had packed a CD in my pocket I thought she might like hearing. The quickest route to the place where we’ve met is a walk up a few hills, and so I set out walking, making my way to meet my friends. 
I arrived 15 minutes late, my friends nowhere to be found. I walked around the the area twice, but nobody was there. I ended up waiting 20 minutes, but then walking home tired and dissapointed. I had missed my friend twice! On the way home, my mind wandered to philosophy studies from school: why it was that I was experiencing these moments now, what the meaning of it all was. I figured there must be a reason I brought myself here today! When I got home, I called my friend on the phone to see if she was somehow around, or if I had missed her entirely. She was there. It turned out after talking to her that she spent the day home sick, and had forgotten to tell me.
Well darn, that was dissapointing! It was really too bad that I hadn’t seen my friend. So there I was, sitting at the table looking at expensive cameras, when it came to me. If I had left earlier and met her friends, I would have discovered that she was not there today. If perhaps I had found them while walking around and stayed, I never would have had thought to call her. Somehow, fate was such that I took the one path that lead to us getting in touch.
