I am a huge fan of Synchronicity, the phenomena, as well as the Police song ;) I wrote about it here and I just find it fascinating how things can seem so coincidental and happen all over the place and still connect. I also happen to speak Simpson's as a second language, so pretty much everything I think about runs through the "can I find a response from a Simpsons episode? Of course I can!") Anyway, this morning I was out buying embroidery floss and trying to color match a dragon and thought, "Sweet Merciful Crap," it is hard to color match floss like it is paint. That phrase is probably one of my all time favorite Homerisms and I say it a lot in my head. I even said it on my Instagram post this morning because that phrase should be uttered at least once a day if possible. (Homer says this when he sees what his car looks like after it was decorated with sea life in the Summer of 4ft 2.) Just wait, I know you are wondering why I am babbling about The Simpsons when I clearly started this blog about Synchronicity and while I am like a squirrel with SHINY, I am on topic. Trust me. So, a bit later in the afternoon I was looking in my IG feed and someone had posted about how to get strange looks while buying art supplies at the hardware store. MY very FIRST reaction after the snortgiggle was to think of Homer going to a mini mart to really buy illegal fireworks but he had to disguise his request so it wouldn't look so... illegal? So... Homer: (in front of the Li'l Valu-Mart) Ah! I bet this place sells illegal fireworks. Just go in and act casual like you buy 'em all the time. (enters the store and talks to the clerk) Hi. Um- Let me have one of those porno magazines, large box of condoms a bottle of Old Harper, a couple of those panty shields (whispering) and some illegal fireworks AND one of those disposable enemas. no, make it two.
Li'l Valu-Mark Clerk: My apologies, sir, but the sale of fireworks is prohibited in this state and is punishable by- (a customer leaves the store) Follow me. Later after he gets home and Marge unpacks his bag: Gee, I don't know what you've got planned for tonight Homer, but count me out! (this was the line that popped into my head after I read the IG post about art supplies and fun looks at the hardware store) This is from the exact same episode, Summer of 4ft 2, that Sweet Merciful Crap came from. And that is synchronicity. It may not be the OMG the entire UNIVERSE is talking to me kind of synchronicity but it is still a variety of it. Who knows, I can't see the entirety of the Universe's thinking, so it may end up being a cosmic nudge from above... or just something saying Hey Hi Hello Have a Great Day. Either way, I'll take it. And by the way... Hey! hi, hello, have a great day!

This weekend was a strange one. Since deciding to pay more attention to "coincidences," they have been popping up like crazy.
First the songs. Popping into my head, Welcome to the House of Fun. Then the next night, a song I rarely pay any attention to, it's just one of those songs that they play on the radio, Take Me Home, or a song that has that line in it, only I cannot figure out WHO sings it LOL I may have to download Soundhound and hum it, but it's been popping into my head on and off since Sunday. So, house and home. Running theme. Next up is me reading the rest of Side walk Oracle and the author is talking about a time he flew to Bozeman Montana for a group thing. I read the sentence that said Montana and my phone rang at that exact same moment... a robocall, from.... MONTANA. Mkay, if that isn't the Universe saying HELLO, LOLOL So, I am now keeping an eye out for what? Homes in Montana? I'm game ;) Some photos of my Rose.... I got the plant for my birthday back in March and it was touch and go at first to see if she was going to make it. I am horrible at keeping roses alive BUT look at her. She has at least 10 more buds ready to bloom and she is doing wonderfully! BTW I took those rose photos in my room which was quite a bit aways from the plant. My Zoom lens is awesome. Also a photo of Amelia the cactus in the sun. No, no not that creepy Jigsaw game. *shudder* But games with coincidences and synchronicities. I am about halfway through Sidewalk Oracles and there is so much information to play with. The author gives a lot of things to think about synchronicity and paying attention to the world around you. One of the games I am trying out is listening to the various kledons, a kind of divination based on chance events or encounters, such as words occasionally uttered. The Ancient Romans did this all the time, seeing signs in all things and then using them as an augury. These can be words you hear someone saying to another person, or a song bite that gets stuck in your head in the morning. Dreams, stories, one liners etc. What I am doing is collecting at least one a day and writing it on an index card and then putting it in a box. After a few months of collecting, I will have a box of ready to go "oracle cards." Which will end up working just like a store bought set of cards, except it will be more personal as I made it with things personal to me. You ask your question for guidance and then pull a card. The reason I am waiting for a few months is that I want to kind of forget what I wrote, so they don't seem too familiar. You can also do this as a sort of party game with a group of people. Have each person write on an index card, a story, or song snippet, line of poetry etc. Then collect all the cards. Then each person asks for guidance and pulls one of the index cards and sees how it relates to their question. Anyway, it just struck me that there are a LOT of *coincidences* and things that are very synchronous in the world and it might be interesting to follow them for awhile. You never know where it may lead. I started today because I woke up with a song in my head that I hadn't heard in a long time and decided I wanted to see if I could use those words to stay mindful during the day... If you have any one-liners, snippets, stories or songs that have struck you as meaningful leave them in the comments so I can add them to my oracle deck!
