I am not sure which is at work.
Lately i have had to ask the question a lot more. Just little things I guess, like I was supposed to be at that place at a certain time. For instance the other day I decided to go thrifting and on the first used bookshelf I found a copy of On the Beach (for $.99) a book I took out of the library and loved. . . see like 2 posts down. Later in my thrift book searching I found another book on my list of things to read. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"
Another example: I was trying to figure out what to use my birthday money for, and I decided I wanted to get an accordion which are really expensive it turns out. My Godfather (thats right) has played the accordion forever, so I consulted him on the matter, and showed him a used one I had found online. He proceeded to tell me he had 3 and that I could borrow one to start out with! I never expected that and I am so psyched about it!
So Accordions, Coffee Cups, and thrifted books. Is life coincidence or fate. I like to think lately they are little messages to keep me going.

This post reminds me of one of my favorite LOST episodes, The Cost of Living, in which Locke says to Desmond: "Don't mistake coincidence for fate."
ReplyDeleteIs there a distinction between the two?
Which is more real, science or faith? Or are they both one in the same?
Coincidence would mean playing the odds; computing the mathematical probability of something happening. The "science"...
Fate would be faith...
So are you a man of science, or a man of faith?...
random fact: i worked with a guy whose wife was the daughter of the zen motorcycle book. YEAH. crazy!!
