Coincidences

from the archives


Coincidences – sometimes they are sometimes they aren’t. 

Driving from two different points 235 miles apart and arriving at the exact same place at the exact same time.  Elsa, Steiner, Thun, Constant Comment, and a Constant Craving.  A fading twin, my sister who left for another mother so she could become my lover, knowing each other the instant we met, and a wisp of a moment that spanned eons and changed everything. 

Yesterdays spent staying at a distance and yet entirely connected with peppermint soap left behind and squirreled away so it wouldn’t have to be shared, near misses with unspoken words on far too many ordinary occasions and even more words that should never have been left unspoken on special occasions ~ “I simply cannot hold my peace and must speak now!”, heavily Dosed, sedated, and drugged.  Staying in proximity and yet entirely disconnected with no’s, can’ts, and won’ts.  Trying to sort out the mixture of messages I overlay, reading between the lines drawn, and seeing the concentric circles widening.

Maybe there really are no coincidences….perhaps it is simply asynchrony designed to drive me toward my ultimate destination.
