Coincidence? I Think Not
Dan Kieley, Jeanie Feeney and I used to marvel at what some would consider the amazing number of coincidences which occurred in our daily lives and Dan’s response was always “co-inkidink? I think not“. Today I saw this “There are no accidents…there is only some purpose that we haven’t yet understood. – Deepak Chopra” and once again it got me back to the effort of being true to our journey.
We are working on a project which arose from a very lighthearted brainstorming session on a simple and elegant solution to a simple and not very pretty problem. One thread of the brainstorm has brought us to the creation of a large scale community project which crosses all socioeconomic and geographic boundaries and in fact draws organizations across them all to the task. When time, space, friendships and projects intersect and the seemingly impossible becomes no only doable but logical and obvious, some might consider that coincidence; or, like us consider it the next step in a lifetime of putting puzzle pieces in place which are now beginning to resemble something beautiful.
Occasionally, it is rewarding to take a step back and look around you at the projects at hand and marvel at the journey which brought you to them and those gathered close who will be a part of their completion.
I believe there is a reason we are here, together, right now and helping each other along on our crossed paths. I hope we can soon revel in the beauty of our coincidental creations. Thanks for your help on mine!
