I'm fascinated with coincidences and have come to no conclusions regarding their relative importance. Natural result of the infinite combination of events ocurring around us at all times? Outcropping of our internal need to project order on the chaotic world? Unconscious shaping of our environment to our own thoughts? Picking up on as-to-yet unkown information that's out there? God intervening? Consequence of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? I'd believe any of it.
Whatever the inherent meaning, or lack there of, they sure are fun to pay attention. Like this weekend when I suddenly remembered I had to call my mom...only to get a busy signal because she was dialing my number at the exact same moment...only to hang up with her and have CP immediately call to remind me to call my mom. Or the countless times my mind wanders to thoughts of someone I haven't seen or thought about in years, only to have them appear (either in person or in the form of news of their whereabouts) within the next day.
