Synchronicity Happens
Do you believe in coincidences? In what Carl Jung called synchronicity? Because the other day I wrote a post on being a seeker and next thing you know my friend in Boston sent me a link to look at my astrological chart and this is what it said:
You are always questioning and learning, and you seem young and alive no matter what your chronological age, for your mind is always alert, curious, flexible and open to new experiences. You have a childlike enthusiasm for anything new and you learn easily, but you also get bored rather quickly. You can be something of a scatterbrain, for you tend to have so many ideas and irons in the fire that it is hard to keep track of them all. You need and crave variety, change, mental stimulation, and an active social life.
Then yesterday I had a weird encounter with my landlady brought on by my hater neighbor about the whereabouts of my dog. “It’s not my dog” I said in Pink Panther voice. And it’s not. But the doubt and confusion over whether I was harboring a dog here “illegally” and then the subsequent realization that I hadn’t paid my rent, when I thought I did, caused me to feel as if my rambling life was messy and odd.
This morning I received an email from a friend here who had opened her inspirational quote of the day to find it applied to me and bingo, did it apply – it basically said ye of little faith think that it’s not all going to work out, but it is, cause it will, and you need to believe that and enjoy the day.
These mere coincidences might mean nothing more than random events overlapping, but for me, a seeker of meaning in a world that is wild and messy in its best of times, I hope to believe that synchronicity happens for a reason and that is to show up now and then to help me carry the load.
