When the subway trains run perfectly and connections happen smoothly and my trek through Central Park goes unobstructed, my commute to work takes 45 minutes. One day last week, I left home at 8:20. There was a problem with the trains that forced me off after riding to just one stop. I exited the station and walked several blocks to a different line. In my rush I got on an express train by mistake which took me to a changing station in time to make the local connection. I still had my fifteen minute walk through Central Park ahead of me and the clock was ticking away. It is not enough for me to be consistently on time; I always arrive at work at least thirty minutes early. This day I was going to be late by half an hour.
I called out to my Angel guides for help. One of them named Little John is a specialist in helping with situations like this one. I was introduced to him by a friend in Dallas over twenty years ago. He has saved by bacon on several occasions by bending time for me. Following my usual practise during this walk, I relaxed my mind by pulling out my Buddha beads and chanting my mantra to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. (I need the beads because the mantra requires 108 repetitions and I lose track without them.)The end result on this particular day? I arrived at work at 8:45. I was grateful to Little John and Ganesha for the favor.
