Thank you for the dawn that I can depend there will be dawn each morning.
*
Thank you for the ground I walk on - that I pretty much take for granted -
that I can depend there will not be a gap or hole or some kind of rip in the
space time continuum.
*
Thank you for my new baby.
*
I am sad that my baby is blind - but I will have faith as I know there is
good reason.
*
I have just learnt that I have acquired Aids - but I will have faith as I
know there is good reason.
*
My wife has just thrown me out and I am bereft. I may never see her or my
young son again. But I will have faith as I know there is good reason.
But what could this good reason be? I know I still have warmth and shelter
and food. That I can see and hear. I know there will be dawn tomorrow and
the ground will stay beneath my feet. But what are you trying to say or
teach me by this occurrence of finding I am alone and may never see my wife ...

I become more aware of what it is all about in silence.
*

That I hear more in silence than I do from TV and phones and talking.
I can hear wavelengths that seem to alter and change me.
I can hear strange sounds in the sky - that are not planes - and sometimes
sound a bit like thunder. These sounds reassure me that there are powers
out there greater then me.
In the silence I can hear myself think.
And I can reflect and learn - rather than rush and not have time to
appreciate and wonder why things occur.
There are odd sounds - sometimes maybe a car - or a wild animal - but I have
faith that all these sounds are for a reason - and that all I encounter has
a reason.

How can you be so precise with the weather?
Why did it pour with rain on my wedding day and yet people who live on a
mile down the road said it was dry there all day?
I have faith that there was a good reason it did pour with rain on my
wedding day.
Are you trying to tell me I have married the wrong person?
Are you trying to tell me you have a sense of humour?
Or are you teaching me not to moan and complain?
*

Why did my son walk down the road one day and a gust of wind caught a shop
sign that blew off and then fell on his head and killed him?
There would be a good reason for this.
Was it is time?
Where do people go when they die?
Will I ever see my son again?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coincidence

"The perception of coincidences often leads to occult or paranormal
claims. It may also lead to a belief in fatalism, that events are pre-
destined to happen in the exact manner of a prior plan or formula.
This lends certain events an aura of inevitability."

It is only when a certain number of links appear , can one recognise a
chain of events.

Im often asked whether something is 'karmic' or not.
There is no uncertainty. Karma is what happens. Sounds too simplistic,
unless you have experienced the required number of links. Once that
'saturated mass' has happened, the need for concern or anxiety
disappears, in the same way such events appear when concern or anxiety
have to be experienced.
