Well , it's happened again. This time it's Frank Lloyd Wright.
I've been reading the book Loving Frank for the past couple of weeks. Many years ago, - more years than I will admit- I'd read a bit about Wright's work for a paper I needed to write. It was his theories, inspirations, etc. If I'd gleaned anything about the man's private life, I'd long ago forgotten. So Loving Frank has been interesting because it tells about the man from the perspective of his lover.
Reading this book has piqued my interest in Frank Lloyd Wright all over again. Tonight I sat down to the computer with the intention of "googling" F.L.W. to see what I might learn. Well, go figure. Before I could even begin to type in his name, staring me in the face WAS his name. There on Yahoo news was a piece on none other than Mr. Wright (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090619/stage_nm/us_lloydwright;_ylt=AqCJahUAFvh7bQy0xvx9i36CfNdF)
Excited, yes I was, that the man came to me, but curious and amazed that it appeared as if by magic.
As I sit here now and think about this , I recall another occurrence that happened over the last 2 days. Now I want to preface this by saying that it is not within my usual oeuvre to being talking about the Underground Railroad. But a cute kid of preteen age has begun dropping by the shop for a friendly chat ( and the candy I have out at the shop ) , and brought up the subject yesterday. We had a lively little talk about it and he was on his merry way ( his mom owns the shop next door ). Today I had a woman in the shop , and for what reason I do not recall, didn't we find ourselves in a discussion about the same subject? Indeed we did. Now , how weird is that?
Yes, I know. These seem like small inconsequential matters. Coincidental, some might say. I've come to doubt that. I think that I've come to believe that there is no such thing as coincidence. There just seems to be too much coincidence for that to be a satisfactory answer . I can't offer you an explanation for it right now , but I'm still searching ( aren't we all ?).
If you'd like more "coincidental" , and some quite compelling , stories try Trish & Rob MacGregor's blog named Synchronicity ( http://www.ofscarabs.blogspot.com/ ) . They are working on a book that should be quite interesting. In the meantime I'd love to hear from you about your experiences with synchronicity.
Wishing you an evening full of MAGIC,
Cyth
I experience synchronicity all the time. The other day I was thinking about a blogging friend who had dropped out and closed her blog several months ago, et voila! not 15 minutes after I had thought about her, she posted on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThings like that happen to me all the time.
BTW, I am a huge Frank Lloyd Wright fan.
