It's been two weeks since I last wrote in this space. Exciting and perhaps miraculous events have filled my life in the last couple of weeks including a car break-down. You might wonder why I would include the break down of my old car as a miraculous event. So, lets start with the beginning of my last two weeks in life and then look at the big picture at the end... I hope I'd bring back the light in the eyes and hearts of all you reading these real stories and perhaps... you can reflect it to others.
A little over two weeks ago I picked up two jobs in the period of 3 days. It's such blessings and slightly overwhelming yet very humbling, especially after quite the tough times I'd had. I then got into the hectic schedule of working long hours and smashing the odometer in my car travelling around Sydney for my works. Time passed by in a blink of an eye. For someone like me who's always on the go since I was barely a teenager, it's great! The driving is also enjoyable for me, as strange as that might sound for some of you who loathe the peak hours traffic in Sydney.
In addition to the adrenalin rush with my works is the intense spiritual journey with a gentleman that I happen to find quite attractive... As feminine as I could be, I'm more like men in my reluctance of showing feelings. Although I love cuddles and am a passionate person, I'm not a big fan of fluffy romantic love. Only those closest to me have witnessed my deepest joy, sweetness, fears and pains. In the midst of organising my physical world to get into routines, I've also been trying to manage all the feelings that surfaced from this spiritual exercises in the little space of time I have in the evening before I fall into a deep sleep.
Now, the story of the good Samaritans... Last weekend, my old car broke down. Luckily, it happened only a few hundred metres down the road from my home. Within five minutes of the car broken down, a good Samaritan came up to me offering help, followed by another. They pushed the car to the service station which happens to be only 20 metres away from where the car stopped. One of the good Samaritans is a mechanic. He stayed back trying to start my car. When that failed, he started calling his mates asking for help including a tow truck. He kindly pulled a favour from his tow-truck-driver friend by telling him I was a good friend. He organised a good deal for the towing and the place to tow the car to, which is a local workshop where he works. I got to wait for the tow truck at home, had it taken care of by the mechanic, and picked up the car a couple days later from his workshop for a mere cost. Throughout the whole process, I didn't need to make even one phone call to organise anything. The miraculous events didn't stop there. When I told my new boss of my situation, he organised to pick me up at the station the next morning and kindly gave me permission to use the company car until I get another car. A few days later I have a reliable, low-maintenance, very cute brand new car.
While many people might forget about others when they're happy, successful, settled down, and in a domestic bliss, there are still those who truly care and share their time and efforts in helping others and most important of all, without any judgements. I can only hope that most people get to know such wonderful human beings in their life as I have in mine whether it be family, friends, colleagues, or even strangers...
For those of you who'd like to know who these honest and kind mechanics are, I have provided their details below:
The good Samaritan mechanic: Matthew
The mechanical workshop: Rocks Auto Care at 266 North Rocks Rd, North Rocks NSW 2151
