I think some of the funniest and warmest moments I remember were those moments that just came together, when someone said or did something funny or inventive and everyone just joined in the collective spontaneity. When you accept an invitation to a new place, or to a party or event, and something wonderful happens, it’s very joyful.

When you meet someone new and there’s a strong
bond, and you spontaneously embrace them, this fantastic
an exchange of energy and warm feelings is created and
carried with you The best thing is that it really doesn’t
now what will happen!! just go with the flow
the present moment and let the next moment unfold.

If you are open to people, they will respond to you in
that same open way. The great guides of the past
it worked very spontaneously too. jesus not really
he planned his day, and he walked wherever he was led.
If someone asked him for help, he would leave what he was
doing and going with him or her. I believe that Buddha, who was credited
with great compassion, he also acted in the same way.
The Dalai Lama is known to be very spontaneous.

There is a fluidity to spontaneity that the great masters recognized.
The moment is now. What is happening or about to
happen happens now. You can decide the result by
accepting the invitation, or rejecting it, embracing a
strange, or widen the gap, be fearless or fearful.
Of course, it is not appropriate to accept all invitations, or
throw yourself into every spontaneous adventure that comes your way.
But be open to that moment as it comes.

I’m comfortable being alone, moving
alone and talking to people. There
went several times while attending school in
USC in Los Angeles who was enjoying something for
myself and started a conversation with a stranger,
and they invited me to a dinner or something that I
I wasn’t really expecting, but I thought it would be nice.
So I spontaneously accepted.

Once, at night, and I was walking around a
outdoor fair in Westwood, which is home to
UCLA, USC’s main rival. there were many
merchants displaying their wares: jewelry, colorful
scarves, ornamental boxes, animal statues, flags, etc. I
loved wild earrings at the time and i was in a booth
going through all the long dangling earrings. I held
each up to my ear to see if it was the right one.
Found this one that was not part of a matching pair.
It was a battle ax with a skull and a feather, in an ancient
silver color. I looked at this and thought: now who
would wear something like this earring?! she was holding it
getting up and looking at him deeply still deciding that whoever wants
Used this would be in heavy metal or some wild stuff.
As I was standing there with this particular earring on my
hand, an attractive boy with long, shaggy blond hair
beard, dressed in a black leather vest, black leather pants and
black cowboy boots, moved next to me, and was also
looking at earrings I started a conversation with him
and showed him the earring.

“Hey, check this one out. Kind of wild, huh?”
He looked at him admiringly and said:

“I think it’s great. Why don’t you try it on?”
“It’s a bit too heavy metal for me. I think it’s for
someone who likes death and destruction.”
We laugh.
“Too wild for you, huh? I like heavy metal.”
“Yeah, so if you like heavy metal, why not
Get it? He will look good with your hair.”
“Oh, do you think so? Why? Are you trying to
say that I am in death and destruction?”
We laughed a bit. “Hey look at this.” With that
she pulls her hair back and reveals that she is already wearing the same earring. She wore it all the time.
We started laughing.

“So you’re a bit into death and destruction, huh?”
With that, his friend walks over to join him. he is tall
handsome boy, also with long blond hair. he is taller
and slimmer than his friend. He is wearing brown leather.
pants. She has a beautiful smile and walks over and joins our conversation.

“What are you two laughing at?” I
I showed him the earring and told him what happened.
He joined in our laughter. It was obvious to some of
his questions that they were both from out of town.
We continue looking at the jewels, showing them each
other great pieces, and talking and joking with each other.
I asked them where they were from. They told me
Florida, and then I asked them what they did. the tallest
and a thinner one answered me mysteriously “We are in a
little band from Florida”.

“Really? Are they in a gang? Let me guess.
Heavy metal?” We all laughed.

“No no, we play a different style, very far from
be metal heads. A kind of Congo style with maracas and Congo drums.”

“Sounds good. Are you touring? Or just playing?”
in the zone?”

“No, we tour, that’s why we’re here in Los Angeles.”

“Oh really? What’s the name of your band? Maybe
Do I know?” He paused and put his hands together in a prayer.
position in front of your mouth. He said: “Miami sound machine.
Have you heard of that?” I started to smile and raised my head.
eyebrow and looked at him. Because the sound of Miami
Machine, with lead singer Gloria Estafan, was one of the biggest bands on the charts at the time.

“Miami Sound Machine?! Yes, I think I heard
of that!! Just a little band from Florida, huh? we all start
laughing at the joke

“So what instruments do you play?” The type
with the beard and mustache said he played the
drums, and the tallest said he plays bass.

“So Gloria is with you?” I asked.

“No, she’s back at the hotel resting.”

“Am I being kidding?!”

“No, if you want we can get you some tickets for a concert here in Los Angeles”

“Oh great! What are the dates you’re on?”
playing?” He named the dates, but they were days when he would travel back to Massachusetts.
I thanked him and thought that would be it.
But the tallest bass player asked me if I knew about
a good place to dine in Westwood. I started to point to some places, and I started to say
goodbye, and they both invited me to have dinner with them.

I was surprised by the invitation but I accepted. Shortly,
other members of the band joined us and we sat down and ate in a
Tex-Mex restaurant. It was so much fun and we were
laughing and joking. I had a great time, and I had dinner.
with the Miami Sound Machine, for spontaneity.
There are many other wonderful memories that I have
meetings or spontaneous events. Other

USC decal on the car as well.
I was laughing because my car was very dirty.
and was making little comments about how my
the school is being misrepresented by a dirty car
like this. I’m pretending that dirty dirty car
it’s not my car. I am hiding my face in shame.

A young guy walks up and talks about USC. He is laughing with me in my car. I
say, “Can you believe that car is from USC? Who
can have a car like this?! I want to say that USC is a great school.”

He is eating yogurt and offers me a taste. I take a
taste. He is also commenting on the car.
“That’s the dirtiest car I’ve ever seen.” We laugh
and then I say about the BMW: “How ironic that
should come right after the shiny BMW owned by
a doctor.” He smiled and told me that this is his car.
“Is that your car?” I asked stunned.

“Yes.”
“Did you graduate from ‘SC?” He nods with a smile.
“Are you the doctor?!”
“That’s me. So where’s your car? It didn’t come

“Remember the dirtiest car of all? That’s me.”
We laughed a bit. We talk about running and

Would I like to join him? It was really like a challenge.

So I told him yes. We agreed to meet in about forty minutes.
The amazing thing is that we both showed up.
We ran on the beach for about twenty
minutes. He gave a moment or two
before I did it and exhausted and sweaty we left
to his apartment for a drink of water and
lemonade. He said, “Why don’t we have
dinner later?” I went out to change and shower, and
I came back like an hour later. it was a heat

Another time I will share with you is a
time I was invited by friends to a
Halloween party at home. We get up to dance and
they had this electronic bat that flapped
and made creepy sounds with the movement. i started d

moment I was pretending I couldn’t dance, and I was
not very coordinated. I began to dance with intensity
and concentration, as if I really needed to concentrate,
but the act was as much as I concentrated I couldn’t
dance good. At one point I just danced out of the
room in the bedroom and went back out dancing
as if I made a mistake. It was hilarious. all in

It’s those spontaneous moments that add to the fun.
and laughter to our lives. So be spontaneous.
