The Butterfly Effect

Holy Freaking Cow! That is all I can really say right now. I just had butterflies in my stomach for the first time since I can even remember. They practically blind-sided me because when I woke this morning, I had no intention, or knowledge, of running into an old friend from college. The phone call came from out of the blue, the coincidences that brought our paths to a crossroads came from out of the blue, the connections that were made in mutual friends were out of the blue. The whole night just stood me right in the face from out of the blue. Here I am thinking that I am going to have to try really hard to find some really awesome girl that the Lord wants for me, and I may already have a prime prospect that knows the truest parts of me. Now, I am not saying that this one interaction is leading me down the aisle, but life does have a funny way of opening up new doors, that were once thought to be closed. The best part is is that I wasn't even looking to have these butterflies until after the New Year when I could control the circumstances that caused the fluttering. I had no control over this day and the fact that I have to wake in four hours to go to work and I still felt the need to enscribe my thoughts now means that something beyond me has overtaken my whole self. For anyone reading this, please don't take this to mean, "Oh, he must be in love." But rather, take it as a reminder that the start of any pursuit follows no format, and no rules. True romance is rooted in spontaneity and I am willling to follow wherever that spontaneity leads me, be it down this path from tonight, or one yet to be revealed.

In any case, I am thankful to have someone like this in my life- someone that I can truly say is an Amazing Woman, even if she may, or may not be the one set out for me. I can only hope that if she is not, then the one who is will have even just one half of the greatness that this one does.
