It had been there – nudging, quietly suggesting, patiently waiting.  But today it stared me in the eye and refused to look away.  I stared back -fixing my gaze. I hadn’t even gotten to where I was going and I  knew this was right.  Its time. Its time. The words bubbled up inside me – I could feel them pressing at the surface – and I relished in their presence, crowded around me, clinging to me. Of course they would be here.    The world around me  hummed with  certain harmony.  And there it was. Exactly what was needed.  The jolt to my existence, the re-setting of expectations, the clarity of my purpose.
