Stretch! said the Balloon Lady

I LVE U

The Universe and God tells me things. We all name these things differently. Intuition, whispers. My husband says it’s just coincidence. Anyway, this was one of those bright moments where I was caught off guard and had to pause.

I was merging onto the expressway, trying to get up to 65mph so a smooth transition could be made. There was a car in front of me going a stately 55, but too slow for my impatient self.

I looked for an out, an opportunity to pass this chugger. Nothing. The vehicle was going the posted speed limit, but everyone else was going faster and I wanted to go faster, as well.Then I noticed it.

The license plate read:

I LVE U

I was transfixed. Compelled. I had to drive behind this Silver Sentra. Afterall, how could I not when the message was clearly directed towards me?

I LVE U

Our routes diverged, but I tried to see the driver of this small car that told everyone it loved them.
She was slight with white hair that appeared as a halo in the setting sun.

The power of those three words.

Have you repeated that phrase today? To someone else? To yourself?

(*Occasionally I re-visit entries and re-post, tweak or develop something different. This is one of those.)
