Dime 49

Found – Among the leaves on a street
I was taking an afternoon walk to get some exercise. There was a big black cloud in an otherwise sunny sky, so I didn’t want to go too far and then get stuck in the rain. I normally walk about a mile west and then turn around and walk a mile home and it’s a nice little 2 mile workout. Instead, I decided to make a smaller circle of the neighborhood.
After about a mile and a half, I found myself walking over the interstate overpass that leads to the next neighborhood. The overpass is a white cement bridge over 12 lanes of interstate highway. The highway is sunken under the neighborhoods, so it’s a flat walk over the bridge. The bridge is always so clean and white since there are no trees on it and hardly any traffic uses it. I crossed to the other side of the bridge and the sidewalk ended where someone’s yard began. As I stepped out onto the street, I realized that, “Wow, it’s really autumn already” because there were so many dried and brown fallen leaves on the ground. It was a total contrast to the stark white cement I had just walked over. I was looking at all of the leaves when I spotted this bright and shiny dime lying on top of them, right in the middle of them all. It was bizarre.

Hello, I stumbled on your page because I have also been on my own spiritual journey as well. For the past 2 years or so, I have been finding money on the street in intervals that have become to me more than coincidence or simple chance. It has been accellerating, very much so.
I sense and feel a divine connection every time I find one…and just an example, I was walking home froma friends house last night, it was dark, and a dime just was shining out to me on the sidewalk. It was glowing, and then again this morning I was waiting for the bus, and saw yet another dime… I appreciate your blog because it has affirmed what I have been realizing for years now (and finally manifesting to me very strongly , quite recently). It has helped to reaffirm that if you want, and desire and can nurture a connection to spirit, the spiritual signals and communications come more willingly, and with the greatest joy.
Every time I find a dime, a penny, or a two dollar coin (i’m in Canada, we have two dollar coins) I feel a sense of privilige that makes the day just a bit more sacred. It started out as pennies, but gradually over the years they have changed to dimes…and once in class a couple of weeks ago, I was sitting at the seminar table, and “by chance” I looked under the table, and there was a bright, clean two dollar coin… For me, it is not the money that’s important, the money is just something that is part of a greater power…
Thanks for sharing your experiences. When you look out for and appreciate the simple sacredness and meanings of daily life, it gives you back a richness a thousand fold.
Thanks again
Mark
