Listen with your heart

"Never Too Late"


For where your treasure is,

there will your heart be also.

~ Luke 12:34

Have you shared a similar experience? Several years ago I began to notice an odd pattern. Digital clocks would often be at 12:34 when I glanced to check the time!

About two years ago, the subject came up with a few of my close friends. We were sharing odd or unique experiences and I mentioned my "relationship" with 12:34. Immediately, those instances began to increase. Normally I would consider it to be what I call "selective perception" however, I have a favorite aunt (90 years young) who firmly believes "There are NO COINCIDENCES!"

Anxious to understand more, I turned to a dear friend to see what she thought of all this! Her pearl of wisdom: lets look up the chapter and verse in the Bible. The one I wrote above is the line I selected WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. It has held a special meaning for me, ever since.....

and I'm listening to my heart!

Wow--what an intersting post. You were meant to read that verse for some reason.....and everything does happen for a reason :)

Beautiful artwork!

I agree with your aunt = there are no coincidences in life. Your 'Never too late' is wonderful ... did you use beeswax on it?

I don't believe in coincidences either....for example I just went to your flickr site & favorited 2 of your art cards, & then zipped over her to your blog and here are both of the art cards in your first posts!!

I felt "deepness" in both of these pieces~ you have inspired me!!

thank you for leaving that note on my blog as I needed a pick me up today~ ;)

Vicki, that has never happened to me that I know of, darnit. Maybe it was all those years working in accounting where I had to fill out a time sheet down to the nearest 15 minutes of what I worked on. I think I've looked at a clock way too much in my past! LOL

Love the ATC!
