Causality

Causality, synchronicity, intuition, premonition. It makes me want to watch the X-files. I honestly don't know what is real and what's not (except fire and police, always ALWAYS real). Is it a wave because I observe it as a wave, or a particle because I need it to be a particle to keep the elevator door open? Does my need for a photon to be or act a certain way make it so, or was it that way already? Yes and yes. Yes, it was a sign from the universe when everything in the world came crashing down on what I assumed was my "path" only to find that when I turned to tuck tail and run, and much better bigger path lay in front of me and set my fitful mind to rest. Yes, it was my intuition working when I delayed a trip that proved to be disastrous for others. What came first, the electric impulse through the phone line or the electric impulse from my brain to pick up the receiver. Or was it simultaneous? If everything is connected, and everything touches each other, and a butterfly in South America can ruin the vacations of thousands on the French Riviera, then it's really not a stretch to say that the second someone thought to call me, on some level I knew and picked up the phone.

Sarah--
I love this! As one who has always taken things very seriously, I'm attracted to your ability to incorporate a sense of humor throughout your observations--it certainly brings home the point that we have to take some of these "heavy things in life" with a grain of--nono--a particle of light!
