When the Universe High-Fived Me Back
On my daily run, a simple high five felt like a sign from the universe—soft confirmation that alignment mirrors back as ease.
Some days, the universe doesn’t speak in symbols or storms.
It speaks in passing moments — a shared breath, a lifted hand, a palm meeting yours mid-stride.
No pause. No lesson. Just a quiet yes as you keep moving.
A Small Moment on My Daily Run That Said Everything
I was out on my daily run — nothing dramatic, nothing symbolic on purpose.
Just movement. Breath. Rhythm.
And then it happened.
A stranger running the opposite direction lifted his hand at the exact right moment.
I lifted mine without thinking.
Our palms met.
A clean, effortless high five.
No slowing down.
No eye contact held too long.
No words exchanged.
This has never happened before.
We both just kept moving.
And somehow… that tiny moment carried more truth than a thousand signs ever could.
Why That High Five Landed So Deeply
It wasn’t about the gesture itself.
It was about how it happened.
Two people moving in opposite directions, still aligned enough to connect — without stopping their stride.
That felt important.
Because it symbolized something I’ve been living lately:
- recognition without needing context
- shared energy without conversation
- “I see you” without ownership
- joy meeting joy, then continuing on its way
There was no attachment to the moment.
No story formed around it.
No meaning forced onto it.
Just exchange.
And then — onward.
What the Universe Was Reflecting Back to Me
Here’s what became clear as I kept running:
I’m in a phase where my energy is readable.
Not loud.
Not performative.
Just open.
Right now:
- my presence is relaxed
- my joy isn’t guarded
- my movement feels natural
- my attention isn’t hunting for outcomes
And because of that, life isn’t testing me.
It’s interacting with me.
The universe isn’t throwing signs at my head anymore.
It’s simply playing back what I’m putting out.
Warmth → warmth
Movement → movement
Effort → acknowledgment
That high five wasn’t a message to analyze.
It was feedback.
Momentum Recognizing Momentum
Abraham Hicks often describes this state as being in the Vortex — where life stops pushing and starts responding. When you’re aligned, you don’t chase signs or strain for meaning. Momentum simply recognizes momentum, and reality reflects you back with ease.
What struck me most is that neither of us stopped.
There was no pause to savor it.
No need to extend it.
No desire to turn it into more than it was.
That’s when it clicked:
This is how alignment feels.
Life touches you lightly when you’re in sync.
Encouragement comes without obligation.
Validation arrives without being sought.
Connection happens without demand.
Nothing sticks.
Nothing drains.
Nothing interrupts your pace.
The Gentle Woo (Nothing to Decode, Nothing to Fear)
I want to be clear — this wasn’t a warning.
It wasn’t a lesson wrapped in symbolism.
It wasn’t the universe asking me to change course.
It was the archetype of a simple message:
“You’re moving well. Keep going.”
No drama.
No instruction manual.
No cosmic riddle.
Just a nod.
That’s how the universe communicates when you’re no longer gripping.
When the Tests Stop
There’s a phase in growth where everything feels charged.
Every delay feels meaningful.
Every inconvenience feels like a lesson.
That phase matters — but it doesn’t last forever.
At some point, the tests stop.
Not because you’ve “won,”
but because you’ve stopped arguing with reality.
Right now, life isn’t asking me:
“Do you believe?”
It’s responding:
“Yes. We can feel that you do.”
That’s why things feel:
- friendlier
- smoother
- less heavy
- less dramatic
I’m no longer extracting meaning.
So meaning arrives on its own.
Signs Change as You Change
Early on, signs shout.
They interrupt.
They shake you awake.
Later, they smile.
They high-five you in passing.
Because you don’t need proof anymore.
You need continuity.
And that’s exactly what that moment reflected back to me.
The Most Important Part
The most important detail?
We both kept running.
No pause.
No attachment.
No story built around the moment.
Just:
exchange → continuation
That’s the frequency I’m living in right now.
And the universe wasn’t asking me to stop and marvel at it.
It was saying:
“Yes. Like that. Keep going.”
