		<description><![CDATA[11 years ago, my son passed away, he was 19.  A couple of years ago, I was recruiting, and a young man turned up for the interview.  His CV was the best I recieved.
I walked into the interview room, and my heart missed several beats.  He was the absolute double of my son.  I felt sick and was near to tears by the end of the interview.
Equally, I knew he was the right person for the job.  I discussed this with my manager, who told me there was no pressure to recruit him, even though he was the right candidate.

I try to do what is right, not what is easy, and I gave him the job.  It was very painful, and very healing, seeing him each day.  He moved to Denmark, ( im in nz) after about 12 months, but in that time, being around him, helped me heal.

It is my boys memory soon, which always upsets me.  Last week, at a time that I feel at my weakest, I was made redundant.
I felt very desperate, and unable to cope.

Two days ago, I was  walking through the office, and walked into someone, it was HIM.

He had returned from Denmark, and said he&#039;d decided to &#039;pop in&#039; on his way to meet his Mother.

He gave me a couple of big hugs .. and rushed off.   I was shaken, and felt like I had seen a ghost.  But I laughed, and laughed

I told my colleague and later that evening my colleague emailed me with a poem that the boy had given him.  Its a poem he carries around with him.
This is the poem

Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, 
and remember what peace there may be in silence. 
As far as possible, without surrender, 
be on good terms with all persons. 
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; 
and listen to others, 
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story. 
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit. 
If you compare yourself with others, 
you may become vain or bitter, 
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. 
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; 
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, 
for the world is full of trickery. 
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals, 
and everywhere life is full of heroism. 
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, 
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass. 
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. 
Beyond a wholesome discipline, 
be gentle with yourself. 
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. 
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, 
whatever you conceive Him to be. 
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life, 
keep peace in your soul. 
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world. 
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann, Desiderata

I dont think any of that was coincidence.  It was very beautiful, and I thought I&#039;d like to share it with you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is all about life, how it works in different dimensions and how beautifully we discovered its secrets. Universe is expanding after one incident there occurs another incident and for scientist to discover pattern of co-incidences its not hard as he can figure out that these incidents have something that interconnect all the process. What I mean this is what a layer of cosmic intelligence that is unfolded. But there is lot more complexity still exist and one day we might get wisdom to explore that its all within us the energy that flows in certain symmetric patterns creating world around us. We work same way universe works....both has life and same design same pattern....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Strange things are happening - On the way to my meditation class in my local library - I walked past a shelf of books and randomly pulled out a book and it was The Spontaneous Fullfillment of Desire - by Deepak Chopra - I thought &quot;well this is a book I cant put back&quot; because of the way I had found it and what it was about.  That was 5 weeks ago and I am still only half way through it, as I need to read some pages several times for the meaning to sink in and to feel it.

I found my way to this web site, as during reading the book and thinking about the many very large &quot;coincidences&quot; I have had during my life (including my arrival at joining my sahaja yoga mediation class - that led me to finding this book), I also started to think about a person I had had many &quot;coincidences&quot; with, and today, after thinking of him for the last 3 weeks, I bumped into him after a year or more of not seeing him. So i thought  I would research a bit more on line sycronicity.  

I just wanted to share my ever unfolding, what i now know is SynchroDestiny and I am so glad I am finally finding out about it.  As I have had huge coincidences, like travelling to other parts of the world and meeting people unknown to me at the time - that turn out to be people I have heard stories about from friends at home, or bumping into random people thousands of miles from home.  There is a woman I meet up with approximatley every 8 years in random places on earth - we are not friends but are going out to lunch for the first time with our husbands tomorrow!  Life is strange and I guess it all has to mean something.  Thanks Chopra]]></description>
