Have you wondered about the role that fate plays in the people who populate your world?Here in Canada, for example, leadership of the Liberal Party is being duked out by two fellows who just happened to be roommates in university. They were best friends. Now bitter rivals.
What force put them together, and intertwined their fates for years to come?
I've been getting to know a new friend with a bright and shiny heart recently.
Last night, over dinner, we discovered that we'd both been at a Michael Palin reading on the U of T campas, maybe 6 or 7 years ago.
It was a fairly obscure event, not particularly well-advertised and not even particularly well-attended. Yet me and this person who has come to populate my world, were both there at the same time. And we were both similarly dumb-struck in front of our comedic idol.
And then there's the Rickie-Lee Jones concert I attended with my best friend at Massey Hall back in the 80s. We were both in university at the time. Fast forward more than twenty years and I discover that my ex was there, too. Also sitting in balcony. Similarly awed by an incredible performance.
Lesson?
Maybe it's pay attention to the people who circumnavigate your personal globe. They're here for a reason. Treat them kindly. Learn from them.
Someone -- not you -- is in charge of the master plan.

While I was dating someone, we realized that we were in the same 20-person course at MTML 3 years prior - but never talked to each other.
I think that the "someone" in charge of the Master Plan is Barack Obama... or maybe CarrotTop.
wv = nousk.
def: What you look for when you realize that CarrotTop is in charge of your destiny.
this shiny little heart is certainly glad to be getting to know yours, as well.

someone I have met, tells me that as we evolve, we see more synchronistic (I have no idea if that's a word - so if there is no such word - I can spell it any way I choose to) events occurring that the speed and distance of these events become closer in time (they occur more frequently and more often).
Sometimes "coincidences" are not. And leaving our current state of analytic thinking may allow us to see more of these events.
Someone else recently told me that Carl Jung talked about this years ago.
MAYBE, the more in tune we become, the more aware of these conincidence we will be/are and the MAY see the meaning behind them if we let go of our natural impulse to anaylze them with this current frame of how we were taught to read the world.
By the way, I have no idea what just wrote. I just typed. Interesting (maybe only for me). Probably too much time and coffee.
Peace
