Postcards from the Universe

In the course of my week there are often lovely little “coincidences” that occur which I fondly refer to as “Postcards from the Universe.” Sometimes they have meaning, which is immediately apparent, other times the meaning will not reveal itself until sometime later on down the road.

And then there are those special times, when it is, quite simply, as if someone is saying: “We’re here, we’re paying attention to your life, and we just thought we’d drop by to let you know that.”

To give you an example. The other night I watched the movie “Ondine.” The story of an Irish fisherman who discovers a woman in his fishing net who he believes to be a Selke (a water nymph). The next day I continue reading “Dream Keepers” by Morrie Ruvinsky. The tale begins when the crew of a fishing boat pulls a naked, wounded man from the cold Pacific waters. The protagonist’s name: Jason Ondine.

These are magical moments and when they occur I simply stop what I’m doing, smile wistfully and say “Thank you. Thank you very much”
