It's almost like I'm guided

Last evening, we (my family and I) were just listening to music and pretty much doing our own thing.

At some point in time, I felt the need to switch on the television and just surf. My usual channel list is the sports channels, the news channels and the movie channels. But this time, for some reason unknown to me, I switched to Star World and just as I did, the advertisement for Andrea Bocheli's concert in Las Vegas came on informing me that the concert was coming on at 9pm...just 30 minutes away!

Why was I so thrilled? If you feel this way, I am sure you have never heard Andrea Bocheli sing. The man has probably the most beautiful voice I have ever heard in song. So serene, so calm, so full of emotions. I don't understand a word he says (because he does not, for the most part, sing in English), but the power of the music is what captures me and makes me buy CDs of his music.

So I ran to get my blank DVDs organized, primed my DVD recorder and then recorded the entire show.

How easily an hour passed by is testament to the amazing music and the voice of Andrea Bocheli.

But what I was left thinking about was the sense of being guided.

It's not like it has happened just last night. If that was the case, I would not have bothered. But it has happened too often to not take notice.

I managed to get the John Lennon 25th Anniversary show that way. I casually surfed to the Sistic site and found out (on two completely seperate occasions) that Billy Cobham and Dreamtheatre were playing in Singapore. There have been so many other incidents which make me believe that there is someone looking out for me.

As if I am holding on to an invisible finger and being led through life.
