Coincidences

I've been having them almost every day for the past several days.

For example, as I was driving the kids to school yesterday, Lesedi and Tumelo laughed at me for not knowing that Bat Man was not a "real super hero" because he relied on gadgets; mechanical, man-made things for his "powers".

On the other hand, The Green Lantern stumbled upon a ring, and that's where he got his (they are real) because the ring has mystical powers. We had a long conversation about the distinctions between gadgets and real powers that came from mystical objects, events, or inheritance.

Later in the day, I woke up from a nap wondering where was my coincidence for the day (yes, they had become that regular). I sat next to Michael at the dining table. He got up, stood behind me, and then put a necklace of mine around my neck: "Here, I give you your super powers." he said.

A few minutes later, he asked me if I could guess who had a baby girl: Green Tara (she's a musician from Canada Michael has played with). "Wow! Has it been that long since we saw her last? That's great. We ought to tell her 'Welcome to the Real World.'" I said. Michael gave me a strange look and said, "I already sent her an email saying "welcome to the real world".

I ask you: does this type of thing happen to you? If so - how often... and what?

  1. Hi, Inonge. This is Vera Smith. We met at the advanced course. Yes, it happens to me and I see them all as precious signs that I am on the right path. There were 3 at Sub Rosa: a game I used to play with when a child, Rupert books, my mom's favorite when she was small and Tintin books, which my brother and I used to read. Deepak Chopra has a cd-set about coincidences that I listened to, he may have a book as well.
