The direction of ones life can turn on an event such as the one you had. Those who have their spiritual radar out, like you do, are more open to the constant unfolding of Path, to the synchronicity of all things. You tell us who you are through the music chosen, the art, the poem (a favorite) the peasants horse story, the Buddhist teaching. One such as you will experience events as signs, markers, illuminations. Blessings on your path.
