A true story which I will keep short.

Bought a second hand Fender Precision Bass when I was playing in London.
Twenty years later I was well into spiritual concepts.
The appropriate one for this true story is non-attachment which I dident understand fully at that time.
I had been out in India and misunderstood the teaching.
Anyway on my return to Inverness I wondered what I was really attached to and could I let it go?
My Fender came to mind. I reluctantly put it up for sale in the Bassist magazine.
I hadn't played for several years but I loved the bass.

To cut a long story short a man in London bought it.
A few later he phoned delighted with "my" bass, then the questions, Where did I buy it? When did I buy it? Did I have it resprayed?

Then to my amazement he confirmed he had sold it to Macaries Musical Exchange all these years ago, thats where I bought it.
He kept the serial number of guitars he had for insurance purposes.

A few month later he sent a copy of "The Bassist" magazine. There he was large as life on the cover with the bass and the story, as told, was inside.
I took it as a sign that there is a God and He has a sense of humour.

There have been similar events that are likewise beyond belief.

I really dont have a logical answer, but there were times I asked for proof there is a God, seems that prayer was answered in this fashion or in other ways.
Thats my take on it.

With Love
