My mother came up on the boards. It made me think of this strange occurrence, I wrote about in 2006.  For newcomers, “Ben” is a lifelong friend of mine.

Ben and I met at work. The unusual friendship was growing and we had begun to pal around together outside of work. This was about 25 years ago.

I remarked last week how all these things came together last Monday in some kind of weird synchronicity. This happens to the soldier and I a lot and most times while it’s impossible to miss I also find it impossible to judge or even to parse. You know it means something but what?

But other times it happens like it did this weekend and it leaves you know doubt God is talkin’. First the back story.

“Look,” I said to the soldier today. “It will be the last day of the year and here this will all be going down with my daughter. And where will you be? About 3 miles away? 3 miles! Can you believe that? How can the universe set something up like this?. What are the odds?” I asked.

“Sounds like par for the course to me. For us, anyway. If it were anyone else you’d notice but for us, it always happens like this.”

I remembered accidently landing at that wedding in a Catholic Church in St. Paul… a few hours after we met a truck stop with one of soldier’s songs blaring into the parking lot on outdoor speakers – Freda Payne’s Band Of Gold.

“Well I don’t know how to parse it. It always makes me think of Apocalypse Now (a movie we saw together when it was released). At the end of that movie they are killing… sacrificing that animal, well you know. There are these things going on all at once and you are left to figure out what it all means. I don’t know what it all means but it seems I should. Should something not be obvious?”

“Don’t know, P. I just know this is how it goes for us.”

Do you get more than your share of bizarre happenings like this? Why do you think that is? Anyone have a theory.

I had a very rough weekend. The eclipse set off the Pluto transit to my Moon and…

My daughter is ill, but today she went to school and I got to the gym which is a relief and a refuge for me. It’s a sanctuary and on good days I leave my phone in the locker.

But on days like today when I think I might hear from the school, I take my phone with me, so I had it in my hand when the soldier called. I was not expecting the call.

“Yeah?” I said.

“P. I can’t talk. I only have a minute.”

“I know.”

So he talked for a minute. “You okay? I just want to make sure you’re ok. And tell you that it’s bright here,” he said. ‘You go have yourself a bright day, P.”

I hung up, glad to have his energy. I am in some trouble right now, in the Petri dish that is the gym. And feeling stressed about my daughter, I am not really up to dealing with it.

This gal, the Sagittarian I’ve mentioned…who I will have to find a nickname for told me the other night, she’d never seen someone with so many coincidences in their life. And I do think I have more than my share.

Like the time Ben spotted my mother on the street. And I have so many examples like that. Like the Two Pisces story I just told. This stuff happens to me all the time. In fact, it happens so frequently I would have to call it “common” where my life is concerned. And satori told me she felt this was evidence – A reason to have faith. And it does feel that way. It feels as if I am in the right place with the right people.

When I met the Sagittarian for the first time, she called it “God talkin’”

“When you mailed back to say you lived here, I said to myself, if that ain’t God talkin’ I don’t know what is. You’re supposed to meet this person…” she said.

And when she told me this blog was on her work computer…well hell. What are the odds?

So what about you? Do you ever have these kinds of experiences? How do you feel about them? What do you think things like this mean?
