Divining a possible future...

Some months ago, a dear, dear man said something like, "Hmmm, your body is almost like a divining tool...". What he meant, I think, was that I feel things approaching on the horizon of my life well before I can see them coming in a more intellectual, frontal-lobe kind of way. In another recent conversation, I told him that I could feel changes coming in the professional side of my life, and even though I couldn't articulate, intellectually, how they were going to manifest, I could feel them strongly about to emerge and I wasn't afraid of the challenge.
So today, a piece of that change walked into my office, sat down, and laid out a potential future path that I had not even vaguely imagined in any kind of intellectual way. This slowly coalescing door would require the use of many of my skills, and might even permit me to stay connected to my current path and the mentor I so respect and admire.
I listened carefully as this future was laid out before me. I asked many questions. I felt it out. "Is this what you've been talking about?" I silently asked myself. "Yes, one piece of it," my body replied.
I am proceeding slowly, as is my way. No rushing, no pushing, no sense of urgency. Just a steady, ongoing opening up, a careful exploration of the possibilities.
We'll see. We'll see, over time.

Possibility number two just arrived over email. Oh, and possibility three emailed me last week and I forgot about it...I guess that makes it possibility 0, the origin...
OK, now I'm getting weird. That's OK, as long as I can keep the socially awkward stuff to a minimum.
