I have a very cool reminder of my no-coincidences theory of coincidence.
Every few months, usually for a few nights in a row, I will awaken only once in the middle of the night and open my eyes to see my clock display an odd series of numbers. It's either 1:11 a.m. or 2:22 a.m., or it will be 2:34 a.m. or 5:46 a.m. I will not awake at any other time of those nights to see random numbers like 1:37 a.m. or 3:15 a.m. It will only be a sequential series or identical series of numbers, and will happen only once per night, usually for a few nights in a row, and then cease for a few months.
This is my reminder from the universe that seeming coincidences are usually not coincidences at all. It might be presumed that someone with my innate time sence (I rely on no alarm clocks, but awake near 7:00 a.m. each day) might unconsciously be awakening only at times when I know there will be a sequential or identical series of numbers displayed on the clock. But I don't think so. (My 7 o'clock daily awakening can happen roughly anytime from 6:56 a.m to 7:07 a.m. - - thus I presume that my internal time sense is not so precise as to explain the middle-of-the-night clock-talk from God phenomena).
Oh, in the wee hours of this morning, I opened my eyes at exactly 5:55.
