Someone once said, “People who believe in co-incidence lack imagination.” Basically there is fate, destiny and other mumbo-jumbo but not co-incidence.
Someone also said, “Coincidence is the word we use when we can’t see the levers and pulleys.”
I don’t know what I believe in. Things seem to happen around me that make it seem that something is always two steps ahead of me, showing me where to go & what to do, knowing what is going to happen next. My history of having premonitions is well know. But those were episodic and usually related to some tragedy. But the ones I have on a regular basis are absolutely inane. Some people might find in unbelievable but I think I’ve fairly archived a lot of these experiences on this blog.
Sometimes a random song comes in my head and I hear it on the radio that very day. Some random name comes to mind, and I read it in the newspaper on online. Over the past year or so, I’ve been a loyal subscriber of a quotation service called QotD or Quotes of the Day. Every day carries a different topic. Lately a lot of things I think about end up being reflected the following day/week in the quotes. This can be a specific author of a quote, a quote itself or the overall theme.
Last weekend on Father’s Day, I went to the mall with my dad to watch a movie. To kill time since we were there early, we decided to peruse the electronics store and then a bookstore. I glanced around, picking up a few titles. I went to the very end of the large store and among all the books, one of them caught my eye. I lifeted it up and smiled to see ‘The Devil’s Dictionary’ by Ambrose Bierce. I have a e-book copy lying around somewhere and have always enjoyed the definations in this dictionary. I showed it to my dad and read out a few which he too enjpyed. That ended that story. We went to the movie, saw it and went back home and I put the memory of that episode to the far recesses of my mind.
Today I clicked on the quote of the day newsletter and the theme was, drumroll please…. Ambrose Bierce. He was born on 24th June in 1842 in Ohio. Amazing that I would see and read from a physical copy of the book for the first time in my life 3 days before his actual birthday. I really don’t know what to call it.
