A newly reacquired friend introduced me to the word, SYNCHRONICITY. From the root words syn- and chrono-, we understand this word to mean same time. Wikipedia defines as follows: Synchronicity is the experience of two or more events that are causally unrelated occurring together in a meaningful manner. To count as synchronicity, the events should be unlikely to occur together by chance. A synchronicity occurs when one event is shared by two or more beings. This event can be a non-chalant passing of time that neither benefits nor impedes either party involved beyond the companionship provided. Or, it can be an event that is so life altering, it is impossible to think how one ever survived prior and, yet, at the same time, fill one with an eternal hope for what may be to come.
How many times in our lives do we stop and say; How weird that you called, I was just thinking about you? Or; Thank God you're here. Please help me.
Many of us roam through life feeling as if we are confined and constrained by forces beyond our control. Most of us believe in a Supreme Being but we forget to ask Him for help when we need it most. God, Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah, Tao, Higher Power - whatever you call Him - is always ready to help us. We need only ask. And sometimes, you don't even have to do that. We call those moments, synchronicities.
Let's open our eyes to what has already been given to us and allow our hearts to begin feeling again...unconstrained and unconfined. Start with something small, like "thanks". See what blossoms.
