“Watch them, watch this”, Kenya kept saying to my great annoyance.

I am certain I was saying something incredibly important that demanded her whole attention. Finally, I conceded and glanced over the balcony. We were seated on Mel’s back porch and below us two guys were moving out from one of the lower apartments.

“Watch this”, Kenya repeated with a sense of awe and revelation. “They open the back gate, then they open the truck, so they have to put down the couch and then lift it up again. Now they are closing the truck and closing the front gate.”

I watched and sure enough each time the guys transported an item they chose to lock/close the gate and truck door, costing them time and effort. Obviously they could have made some radically different decisions such as not closing doors.

“This is perfect”, Kenya mused.

I still didn’t get it.

“Why are these guys doing all this extra work”, she reflected. “What?…do they think someone is just gonna run up into this alley and steal their couch off the truck? Or maybe they are afraid of their neighbors getting upset if the gate which is supposed to protect them is left open.”

Then I got it.

She had found confirmation of the prudence of not placing any artificial barriers in the way of those involved in our joint efforts to manifest abundance.

So, the universe is great. As so happens the very next day, I step onto Mel’s balcony to discover her next door neighbors being moved by a professional company. Five moving guys busily and elegantly traversed the space between the open truck doors and the gate propped open by a brick.

Lesson Learned:

Fear promotes costly extra steps.
Unfettered co-creation manifests intention.
