The Coincidence Factor

Call it coincidence, call it fate, suddenly everything fell into place. He was staring at a flower. She was sleeping. He could touch her. She seemed to be made of soft petals. Mysterious scent. Mesmerizing colors. Her breathing was heavenly rhythmical. The best sound he ever heard. His ears wanted to hear that sound again and again. The sun was rising. The morning was young. Any minute she could wake up now. He was waiting for that precious moment. The day was delighted and already knew how many beautiful surprises it would spread through the wings of butterflies. She turned and he watched her. He wanted to observe every move of her. She was a piece of art in his eyes. 

In the corner of the room a little dog was sleeping as well. His tail was silent for a moment. Soon the dog would be moving his tail all the time to express joy and excitement. The tail was almost as large as his legs. He always smiled when he looked at the dog. He was cute. He opened the window to let the fresh air inside the room. He heard the sound of singing birds. A butterfly was resting on the window. He witnessed how it moved its wings slowly. It was carefully designed by mother nature. He always loved butterflies. In his childhood he was chasing them all the time. An innocent practice and of course he never damaged them. He just ran after them, wild and free. 

The dog moved. It was time to greet the day. He noticed the man and he instantly showed love and affection. The man smiled. A pile of sweetness was coming his way. They hugged each other like they did every morning. Resulting in a series of delicious scenes. The dog loved him. It was love at first sight. The dog approached her too. To wake her up in the most gentle way, he looked for a place close to her heart. His smooth legs touched her cheeks. A smile appeared on het face. Her eyes were opening. She caressed her little friend. He was happy. Happiness lies in simple things. She whispered good morning to him and it felt as if he was dreaming. She was talking to him. 

He asked her if she would like to have breakfast and she said yes. Her morning dress was so beautiful. The butterfly decided to fly in the room. The dog was immediately chasing her. They both laughed. It was an innocent moment. The hunting was fun. For all of them. The butterfly was brave. The dog was full of energy. Time for a walk outside. The butterfly did one extra round and then left them. Leaving more happy and light vibes in the room. The dog kept on staring at the butterfly until it became a small dot. The man watched how she was enjoying her breakfast. The little dog was lucky. He received little parts of bacon. 

He gave her a kiss and time stood still. To honor that special moment. They spoke to each other with their hearts. The deepest level of communication between a man and a woman. Her fingers around his fingers. The shape of loving bliss. Both in heaven. Together. As one. The dog's tail moved more than ever. He wanted to go outside. He barked. They noticed the impatience of their little fellow. They took their shoes and the dog understood that he could run outside. The door opened slowly. Fresh air. Magic sounds of enchanting mornings. Everything looked so peaceful. Their hands together. The dog loved the walk. He was curious and full of life.

It was no coincidence. They both understood the meaning of life. In a nutshell. Their happiness was felt by every living being around them. He called the dog. He was running after another dog, much bigger. The time left them in peace. Abundantly offering every gift that was meant to unfold. They were blessed and felt grateful. The dog wanted more hugs and looked for his arms. She laughed. She wanted the same. In his arms she felt at ease. It was her home. Since that first moment when they met. The fairy tail moved. The dog expressed how happy he was. Everyone who saw that little fellow, fell in love. He kissed her again. And again. And once more ...
