I had a strange dream last night.
When I awoke I felt like something important had happened, but could only remember one thing about it though...
The coincidental occurrence of events that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality.
I think back about the times of my travels. All of the places I have been and things that have happened. I remember a trip to Africa where I was on a ship and I met a man named Marlow. I remember thinking about how strange it was to be in Africa and be meeting a man named Marlow. I could help but relate it to Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness. Marlow had started off in Africa before traveling up the Congo River. In meeting this man, I wondered if he too every thought about his name being part of the novel or if perhaps it is what led him to travel to Africa.
Was the character being named Marlow and the man I met being named Marlow just a coincidence?
Probably.
Synchronicity.
Is it more than a coincidence?
I'd like to think so. I'd like to think that there is more of meaning to events happening.
I'd like to think that my meeting people has a higher cause.
That perhaps it was destiny.
Synchronicity.
I hope it is more than just that.
