Every not so often, the universe will launch a sequence of events, all so perfectly calculated, and beautifully orchestrated, which all together seem to be a heavenly act. Something which feels like divine intervention. Something solely crafted for you. A job for the struggling unemployed. A random and uplifting compliment for the sad and depressed. Something that brings about hope to the hopeless, and can be described as a first sound to the deaf, something as embracing and secure as a mother’s first touch. A number of events that put an individual in the right place and right time, with results that feel so illusory, you wake the next day doubting that moment’s authenticity.

This night would end with no foreseen establishment of any type of future relationship. The next day, all would gather for a specific event, and this day, although more interactive and fruitful, would be end the same. A week later the universe would prove to still be in his corner. In weeks to come she would open his eyes to things that were right in front of him, but he had grown unable to see. She would unknowingly rebuild him, and with every encounter, every call, and text, add missing pieces to his broken puzzle. She in herself is heavenly. She alone is divine.
