Moving fast to unload the car after a music show, they made several trips and carried instruments, cords and cases to the house. The clouds were dark and the rain drops heavy, flooding the pot holes in the streets and local creeks. Always a relief after a show, to be home, relax and chill. I could tell this must be one of his favorite parts of his whole day. The next morning he awoke startled and realized he had left his lap top computer on top of the car, in the rain. He ran outside to get it and noticed his car had been entered by people/thieves and everything was gone, lap top, class ring and sentimental gadgets and gizmos from his car. When he called to tell me this news I listened and felt his disappointment. Yet, he surrendered to the situation and seemed calm in a way that, every thing will work out. I commented that since he left his lap top out all night in the rain and people took it that it was a good thing because what would he do with a water logged lap top? He said, "Yea?"
The day was clear and on caller ID the number was blocked, he answered and the caller said, "Hello, are you Chris and he replied "yes," the caller said, "we have some items that may belong to you can you come down to the station?" He met the officer and there in the box were all of the items that were taken from his car, almost everything! The officer said, " Yea, we busted 4 people who have been breaking into garages and cars, you would not believe their pile of loot." Chris left with all his goodies and in good cheer.
A few days later he was doing something with his computer and had it turned upside down when I noticed the bottom of the computer was missing and I boasted, " Gosh, so they took your computer, but why did they have to disassemble it, keep the bottom, I mean how rude." He said, " Mom they took the bottom off to dry it out from being left in the rain, and because they took the bottom off, it dried out and now works fine. They probably had not put it back together because they were still drying it out. Because of what they did, the computer works great." I wanted to disappear into the couch, my negative thoughts made me feel queer. He sat and dilly dallied a bit more with the computer and I had time so quickly changed my thoughts about the people who stole and sent gratitude, peace, love, abundance, forgiveness, energy and kindness to all four. As well I admired Chris's ability to forgive with ease and express love for all people equally including these four.
