Synchronicity Part 1

Although things happen serendipitously at home, amazing coincidences bless us even more abundantly when we travel. We catch the only bus, get the last hotel room, show up at a museum on its one (announced) free day of the year, and tour the ruins on the only day it’s not raining.

 Last year, Becky and I were hiking in Greece. The rocky trail was much steeper, longer, and hotter than we had thought. Seeing the next town at a great distance along the jagged coast, we realized we didn’t have enough water or strength to reach it and wondered out loud what to do. We hadn’t seen another hiker for over an hour. Right then a man and woman appeared on the trail walking toward us. They spoke English. They lived nearby. If we turned off the trail just up ahead, we could reach the road through their yard. The bus to our destination stopped across from their house.

It has reached the point where all we do is say, “I wonder what/where/how . . . . “ and the answer materializes. This phenomenon still astounds us, a powerful reminder that we are all part of the morphogenic energy field, all one, all connected, all ways.
