In my post titled “Unlocking Gifts,” I wrote about the synchronicity of a man finding and giving me my car key that I had dropped in the snow and how it symbolized for me the unlocking of my need to write this blog and share what I write. I would like to share some other synchronistic experiences I have had. One day my car wouldn’t start, an unusual occurrence I’m happy to say. This happened during a period of time when I was having trouble being motivated to accomplish some things that I knew I needed to get done. Again, there is no causal connection but the car not starting symbolized how I was feeling during that time, my low energy. Even though I was aware I needed to find a way to get at certain tasks, the symbol of the car not starting served as a beneficial reminder.
Here is another synchronicity. I recently saw that a flower was blooming on a house plant I have had for many years. It is a peace lily plant that was a gift at my father’s memorial service ten years ago. It continued to have flowers at first but gradually it stopped blooming. It’s an attractive house plant without flowers too. But what a fun and pretty surprise when it bloomed again after not doing so for several years. And it happened at a time when I was feeling positive about some things happening my life, some times where I felt I was growing personally.
As these examples show, synchronicities can serve valuable purposes in our lives. The first one reinforced a reminder I needed in order to move forward. The second seemed to symbolically support some positive things that were happening in my life.
