Synchronicity & Affirmation

qosI find it deeply affirming that right on the heels of the profound transitions and affirmations of the past week, I've obtained a book called Colliding Galaxies: The Universe in Turmoil.
When I was writing my stories of the Link, I made up the idea of colliding galaxies as a device to justify the stories I wanted to write: stories about a young woman moving between worlds and galaxies and finding her destiny as a mediator. I didn't believe that galaxies really collided. I thought that everything in space was moving out and away from everything else, with galaxies getting more distant from each other, not bumping into each other.
But galaxies do collide.
And I did grow up to become a Link between worlds.
And I married a king.
None of this happened the way I envisioned, of course -- but back in the late 1970's and early 80's I didn't have any frame of reference to frame the yearnings I felt except science fiction.
Why in the world (in all the worlds!) should I have the slightest doubt that I can become a successful spiritual director? I've already done the impossible stuff!
