A week passed and then one morning I was absolutely sure that Synchronicity was at work again.
Life Saved by Synchronicity
This morning I got up a little earlier as usual ('cause I wanted to do something on the PC for class - I am attending a training for IT worker). When I was almost ready to go out, I saw I had some 10 minutes extra left and decided to pick a pair of earrings and a bracelet to match. Both items I seldom wear, but I was in a good mood and the sky-blue colour of the items matched my clothes so nicely that it was very tempting.
Upon leaving I grabbed a brand-new, bright blue Cashmere shawl I had recently bought, and draped that over my shoulders as finishing touch. It was too warm to ware a vest anyway.
And then the Omens started...
It was, at about ten meters from my house, when I thought my actions through, thinking:
"Funny how I came to ware earrings today, I might get entangled into something again" (knowing that this often happens to me!) and then I thought of my shawl, how it would prove to be a bad idea to have taken the new one. I should have taken the slightly older one, which wouldn't be so bad if it came to any harm. (Don't know why the harm-idea sprung up.)
The thought left my head immediately as I realised that it had become the exact same time to go to school as on any other day (8 o'clok), for I had "wasted" the extra time on the jewellery. I then hurried to the bus-stop but to no avail.
I had missed the early bus again anyway.
As my bus (nr 34) often comes late or skips a bus which means one often has to wait for more than 25 minutes, I looked for a means to get to school faster by taking some other bus or tram. In my head I tried the different possibilities and came up with the possibility to take the nr 32 bus (a regular and much more frequent bus) for two stops only, where I would be able to take tram 11 to then get in to town very near where my training centre is.
I sat at the bus-stop when all of a sudden, the sentence shot through my head: "Met with an accident" like the title of a Newspaper article, and it went through my head several times, like a billboard.
(And in English and all, whereas normally I would expect that in my local Flemish language.
Although I think in English as much as I do in Flemish.)
I wondered who would meet with an accident; would it be the car just in front of me? (the cars have to halt at the traffic lights just where our bus-stop is) I looked at the lady driving the big car with four children in the back and felt worried, so I knew this was a form of "clairvoyance" or "clair-knowledge" again. (feeling worried at some warning, has that indication to me)
I even tried to memorize her licence plate, thinking: "If I hear or read something on the news about it, I might remember the plate just to know whether this clairvoyant information was accurate.
Only then did I realise the bus 32 had already stopped in front of my nose and passengers got in and the driver closed the doors again. I got up - be it late - with a hopeful look in my eyes and yes ... he saw me and opened his doors again. Lucky me I thought. (What did I know...)
It was then that I saw my shawl had gotten entangled with the glasses I was wearing on a string around my neck. I got on the bus anyhow, but was more interested in getting my glasses & shawl untangled then in holding on tight in that bus. I bumped in to some gentleman and decided to move on to the middle door of the bus, where there were less people and I could hold the poles a little easier.
It wasn't easy though, because I carried two bags, one with books and the other with food and drinks.
I swung my arm around a pole in the hopes of holding on and started pulling on the shawl again when all of a sudden the bus came to a terrible full-stop. The driver simply had to STAND on his breaks, because a young woman suddenly ran in front of it. I was swung loose from the pole went sailing backwards through the length of the bus, to land hard on my back in the front of the bus, with my head under the chairs banging my head really hard on the floor.
All I could say at that moment was whoow and aaaah for a couple of minutes.
I had kept my eyes closed all through my "flight" and now realised where I had landed. My head hurt like hell and I kept holding on to it while I tried to sit up.
At that moment someone brought me my left shoe I had lost because of the blow apparently, although the string had been fastened on double knot. (Can you imagine!)
Some ladies helped me up, sat me down and called an ambulance as my head hurt terribly and the pain spread through my skull and under my eyes where I could feel my teeth hurt as well. The driver was a little bit in shock and didn't quite know what to do. Lots of people left the bus at that point to take another 32 that had been driving directly behind this one.
Then the people who stayed behind, started to talk about what happened; how this young girl was saved thanks to the quick reflexes of the driver and then he thawed and started looking around for flying personnel of the bus-company to arrive. They did, he explained what was wrong and then asked the ladies who helped me up to testify as to what had happened.
According to their description the young woman had really risked her life by crossing the street just in front of the bus. She was nowhere to be found by now, so we can only hope she was not hurt in any way.
Then it dawned on me:
Had I not wasted my time with the jewelry >> I would not be on this bus. Had I not worn this shawl >> I would have held on firmly and this wouldn't have happened. Had I not heard that sentence in my head >> the bus would not have closed its doors, having had to open them again for me, wasting some time.
Just enough time not to have been closer to that young woman when she ran across the street. It felt to me like I had taken over a burden from her. This had happened to me because I listened to my intuition and that was the reason she was still alive.
It felt good, although my body ached all-over, it felt good, if you see what I mean.
I might have saved her parents from hurt or who knows; she might have been a young mum herself.
The ladies in the bus happened to be of the same department that organised the lessons I was attending, so they asked me my named and suggested calling the teachers for me. That was a relief.
The ambulance arrived and I was taken to hospital where they diagnosed me with a slight concussion and a probable whiplash.
At the moment they pushed me through the CT scan I had a slight panic attack and mentally yelled out for my Angel Sylvia!
Then it felt as if someone talked to me in my head, calming me down, making me pay attention to my breathing and saying: "You're doing just fine Lilith, all is going to be well." And the voice kept talking to me until I had calmed down and my breathing returned to normal and it looked as if the doctor had waited just as long, for only then did he initiate the scanner.
The doctor prescribed two days off, but I ignored him and went strait back to the computer lessons. I do not want to miss out on any.
It cost me a whole week of heavy head-aches, but I suppose it was worth it.
