My Saturday Class.. and what a coincidence too!!
We had a small group today, so lots of opportunity to give individual attention to my students. However I am forever getting excited about coincidences, things that we experience.called synchronicity. It seems to happen a lot lately! I looked it up… While a coincidence is a random, statistically likely occurrence, synchronicity carries a "meaning" that makes it feel purposeful or uncanny. Florence is very creative and she brought in a cute doll today that she had crocheted at home. She said her name is Bonnie. So I told her how meaningful this was for me. The other day I was talking to my friend whose name is Bonnie. Bonnie found me on the internet, I am sure she won’t mind me saying that she has recently joined our community. She is an incredible crochet tapestry artist and has international crochet status. She made me a huge fabulous crocheted scene of me, my crochet caravan “Marilyn” and all the children lining up to learn crochet! So her name is Bonnie too! I think the most fascinating coincidence that happened for me was when my mum was alive and attending a memory group. The activity was collage card making, so my mum made a card for my sister, it was a secret. We were away on holiday in the Yorkshire dales,, my sisters, my mum and I. It was kath’s birthday and we were all in the kitchen when we remembered the secret card. We opened it and looked out of the window, where we could see a sheep, some hills, a tree and a wall, and there on Kath’s card mum had previously made a collage of this scene with no knowledge of this future place. How amazed we all were! I wonder, have you ever experienced synchronicity? What is your story? We filled our baskets with chocolate mini eggs!
