A little story to demonstrate my observation of human harmony. Recently, I was driving on a four-lane, business highway through our town. On one side is the back yards of a neighborhood, and on the other side is hole 18 of a golf course. People will often speed through this area as the speed changes from 35 to 45. Nevertheless, it can be a “get out of the way” stretch of road.
On this particular day, there was a group of about 8 vehicles, including mine, and it took me a minute to realize something seemed off. I wasn’t passing anyone, and they weren’t passing me. Every car in our group was simply cruising along at a sweet, calm 35 miles per hour. I felt a moment of harmony created by human choices to not rush, to fall into place, and just be. We all drove in this peaceful harmony for about half a mile until there was a stoplight to snap us out of harmony.
The title of this blog is “Seeking Positivity in the Galaxy,” and I found it! It was a matter of moments, but it left an impact on me. Now, I continue to look for this human harmony, or if others are experiencing it while I am completely missing it. I have tried to create it in the same stretch of road, but there is always someone who is in a hurry or someone to slow. I have tried to set a pace shopping to see if others would walk in time, but there was always a shopping cart that needed to get through or someone stopping to, well, shop. Making it happen probably is the wrong way to go about it.
Anyway, it happens! Human harmony exists; we just have to wait for it and be ready to experience it when it does.
