A little over a week ago I had the beautiful opportunity and blessing to attend a lunch at the wonderful Astek that I have written about in these pages before. Every event and gathering I attend there is always inspiring and beautiful and so enjoyable, and this lunch was all of those things combined with wonderful tapas and sangria and conversations and connections that continued afterward as we walked out of the space and continued onto other destinations.
Everyone who I met there that day added their own sparkle to the afternoon, and one of the Designers and I continued our conversation as we went to visit with one of the showrooms where she had planned to visit and look at items for a project she is working on, and then we spoke about all kinds of things as we walked outside into the city streets.
After we parted I had another event to attend and she did as well in another area, and then a bit later she sent me a message to invite me to an event a friend of hers was part of in a panel for that evening. My schedule was so busy that day, but it just seemed like a good thing to try to get to, and though I was at another event that coincided with it, I left a bit earlier than I'd planned and was able to get there a bit later.
It turned out that her friend, the Artist and Designer on the panel, is someone I had met before at another wonderful Design event in another place, and so the connection and meetings and inspiration seemed somehow to make a perfectly divine sense. On days like this when I allow myself to get into the flow of things without trying to make my own logic make sense of things, truly miraculous things can happen and I find the beautiful reminder that I need to allow the unexpected beauty of things to go their own way without wondering why or how or if or when.
