Two, within 14 hours. (Tuesday night & Wednesday afternoon)


1) After drum circle, Sumi, Chris, and I were hanging out in Sumi's kitchen. She turned on the light to get something from the cupboard, at which point I made some smart-ass remark about her destroying the ambience I'd created by "strategically placing candles around the room." Chris retorted that there were only two candles, to which I responded with a reference to a fairy tale in which the princes, in a competition to win the inheritance rights to their father's kingdom, each try to fill a room with limited resources. In the end, the youngest son, using only a candle, wins - by filling up the room entirely with light.

To qualify, this is a story I hadn't heard in ages, but felt was appropriate to recall at this moment. Sumi said I'd have to tell her the whole story, and I said something to the effect of "I don't know if I remember it well enough to tell it well, but I'm sure we can arrange something..."

We ended up getting comfy again, and I proposed calling the Toronto Public Library "Dial-A-Story" number (a free service that tells different stories in eight languages, with the option of selecting stories for "younger children" or "older children"). There was a bit of reluctance, since we had to wake up early the next morning, but eventually Sumi agreed, so long as we listened to the younger children designated (a.k.a. presumably shorter) story. Done deal.

It only took a few sentences to realise that the story that was being told, in a feminized version totally new to me, was in fact that very story of the candle-light - with princesses instead of the traditional princes and other minor variations. That, combined with virtually a whole night of basically chanelling non-verbal understandings with Sumi, was pretty mind-blowing.


2) Geoff R. offered to take me to lunch after massage class ended. I accepted, but when he told me where he was taking us, the same restaurant we'd frequented the previous time, I immediately started asking (very insistently) about other restaurants in the neighbourhood, as though I knew we had to have a contingency plan. When we arrived at the restaurant, a sign on the window told us of its having been shut down for "restructuring".


There has been a lot more synchronicity I've been experiencing over the last several months. Not sure if I'm becoming more psychic innately, or am just by circumstance more open to the possibilities, but it's a welcome phenomenon. Would like to develop/hone it more. Note to self: find copy of "The Psychic Pathway" or re-borrow it from Ayla!
