11:11 (part 3)

The last 24 hours have exposed a few revelations. My friend's aunt (mentioned in 22 with the spiritual connection) had contacted my friend's mother about her father. He had spent the last 3 years working on some karmic debt, yet in a moment of weakness and loneliness, he had a slip, and I was with my friend in Tasmania when this came out. I had told her that I would send positive energy her father's way.

Last night, I also thought about messaging him and stopped in my tracks when I saw 11:11, a reminder to me of temperance and faith.

I ended up passing out without praying for my friend's father, and something woke me in the middle of the night (early morning hours) with that being one of my first thoughts. In a groggy state, I sent positive energies for her father and also threw in a prayer for him. He came in my dreams, and while I don't remember most of the details, I do remember him stroking my leg and my cradling his arm (in the same way that I woke up one morning in Koh Samui). The remnants when I woke this morning was one of reassurance. I'm not sure if that was for my friend's father, me or both.

I had an appointment with Anna (sugar wax) who is a fellow Virgo, and we've always had a connection and have been supportive in each other's lives. I caught her on the phone when I walked in, and she was emotional when she told me how she chanced upon a dog a few weeks back who kept wagging her tail while going back to a man who kept beating her with a stick. He ended up throwing the pup into Anna's car when she said she was going to take the pup if he was going to continue. However, her life cannot support raising a puppy at the moment, and it turns out that all the shelters are overfilled after the holidays from families returning puppies after realizing that the Christmas present was too much work.

She said what I was thinking initially when she started the story, which is that she felt guilty because she felt like the puppy came into her life for a reason, as the pup looked like the dog of her best friend who passed away recently. Perhaps her role was really to make sure the puppy found a good home, which Anna was trying to do and I walked into the conversation where a shelter had agreed to see her. We discussed the Law of Attraction and frog in my throat, regarding positive energy. He and I had also discussed dogs when I was in Singapore earlier this month, and how we both would want one day but individually would not be able to have currently, given our travel schedules.

My next stop was the Apple store, where a woman, who had overheard my issues as I was presenting them to her co-worker, later walked across the store as I was standing in another queue to further assist me, including giving me pointers on how to navigate Apple Care/support if I end up having to wait longer. She later walked passed me and another support staff that was troubleshooting my phone and asked me if I was getting what I needed. When I was telling the staff that was helping me how the other woman was kind enough to assist earlier and asked for her name, the staff said that she did not know her name as the other woman is very quiet generally. It is a bit ironic that an introvert would then seek me out to further assist me. Law of Attraction?

In the background, I registered that Chainsmokers' Closer was playing. It actually may have been one of their other songs but my soul seems to be in tune to pick up that song since November. Out of nowhere one night in Las Vegas, he asked me if I knew the band. At the time, it didn't register but he suggested I look up that song. I had not heard it even though it was a huge hit. Since then, I keep hearing it. That same week as we went to Fremont Street, one of the live bands played Blink-182's All the Small Things, which he noted was one of his favorites and one that he listens to in the morning or while running. Later on, as we were heading to another bar, I heard a song from another live band that I started dancing to and said that I always loved this song, not connecting that it was the same song until he brought it up. Doh! I am one of those who love to dance and connect with tunes without always connecting the band, title or lyrics. So yes, I felt foolish when he brought that to my attention. 😒

Something compelled me to check out the lyrics tonight. Closer is about reconnecting with someone. 

"Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you / I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm doing ok...And four years, no calls / Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar / And I can't stop / No, I can't stop...You look as good as the day I met you / I forget just why I left you, I was insane / Stay and play that Blink-182 song...We ain't ever getting older"

Alex Pall notes that the Blink-182 song is I Miss You, suggesting that the two characters did not forget each other and never moved on. The reference to Blink-182 was surprising...considering. All the Small Things is about the small gestures someone makes to show his/her love. It was written for Tom Delonge's wife who complained that he wrote songs about other women but not her. She used to leave roses at the top of the stairs when he worked late.

"All the small things / True care, truth brings / I'll take one lift / Your ride - best trip / Always, I know / You'll be at my show / Watching, waiting, commiserating...Surprises let me know she cares...Keep your head still / I'll be your thrill / The night will go on / My little windmill"

"Keep your head still" is a reminder to relax while he returns the caring gestures, and the reference to windmill is being the power and energy provided to the other. That week he had noted that he forgot to pack pocket squares as it was his new signature look when he presented. It was his first big presentation on a global scale that he had spent months getting certified at his company. It didn't occur to me to do anything other than getting that as a good luck gift. He was not only surprised but also commented that it was very thoughtful as he would not have gone to purchase it himself. His special gratitude spoke to my language of love (moments that matter (part 2)).

Perhaps I should pay closer attention to lyrics as there seems to be some hidden meanings and messages in them, as a sign of synchronicity.
