No Ordinary Moments

I've been thinking today about a quote from one of my favourite movies, The Peaceful Warrior, which says "There are no ordinary moments". I haven't seen this film in quite some time but I had a re-membering of this quote after going to the airport yesterday. I went to the airport to pick up a friend of mine who is down in Dunedin for the weekend. As we got into my car, and were about to drive to the city, this girl smiled at me. I opened my door and said hi to her, and she asked if she could hitch a lift into Dunedin. I agreed and off we went.
What struck me about this encounter was that the girl in question (names were not exchanged) had a bold confidence and trust in the goodness of the universe, and me. She never doubted that I would be willing to give her a free lift, and because of her trust in me, I did something I usually do not do, which is pick up strangers.
It was the most ordinary type of encounter, and yet it was quite extraordinary, because in that moment I learnt something not only about myself, but also about the laws of the universe, and the grace of God. That is, that what you expect and believe will come into fruition.
So I leave you with this thought today that there are no ordinary moments. A moment of sacred revelation and self-insight may be contained within the seemingly ordinary-ness of day to day life, if we are aware.
