the maelstrom...

yesterday was one of those days - and the day before, actually - one of those days when it seemed that every thought i had every action i took every word i read everything i saw or heard was interconnected intertwined each with the other and with the thoughts words actions of others, especially others with whom i have been in recent contact and/or whom i have just "met" so to speak -

things like picking up a book i'd not read and opening it to the page with a name someone else had just mentioned but of whom i'd never heard - picking up the phone before it rang - walking into the room talking about a particular person and flipping on the television to find a news story being broadcast about that person - seeing the same triple numbers in multiple places as i was out and about, out of a ream of paper picking the exact number of sheets i needed [without counting], extracting from several bottles the exact number of pills necessary to fill a particular container, picking up a grocery item on a whim and my daughter later calling me to ask me to pick up that exact item, -

the list goes on and on - the content of each somewhat trivial/innocuous in nature, comparatively speaking, at least - and these kinds of things are not at all unusual to me - or even to most of us - on isolated occasions or irregular times, etc - but the past few days, for me, the frequency has been almost constant - at one point early on the other day, i thought i would start jotting them down but they continued with such frequency that i found i simply would have to record every single thing i had done or thought or said or had seen, etc - and so, i was unable to even begin a list -

and this, too, has happened in times past - this constancy of these kinds of things - one correlation i believe may be my recent "new journey" in the quest for more knowledge and "visiting for the first time, and re-visiting" this part of ME, thus, having ME more open and receptive and cognizant of possibilities -

happily, these incidents of the last few days have been rather light-natured in tone - i mean, nothing terribly negative or earth-shattering - no associated tragic incidents or devastating illnesses, etc - but it caused a flood of memories of all the other times in my life when the associations were not so "light" or "unblimished by tragedy" - times when i had to consciously diligently "work", to "focus", to "shut 'it' off", to "stop the flow" of the overwhelming incidents about which i felt such a responsibility - and it seems, too, that time of year somehow plays a role in the frequency of these things for me - it seems that spring and summer have been more often the periods of intensity that i remember, anyway - perhaps there is a connection with the geomagnetic activity of the periods -

the whole point of this rambling is that i have set up this blog to memorialize to share my own personal experiences of the "extraordinary" - experiences which we all have and with which i, anyway, continue to be fascinated - but in these few days, have been unable to put finger to keyboard to do so - in any event, i look forward to this journey, this deeper exploration, this quest/this thirst for more knowledge for more growth - bon voyage to us all -
