Dear Jack,
Every now and again I have times where a phrase or word or subject repeats itself within a short amount of time. I have often wondered why this occurs. Part of me wonders if it is a sign related to that word. I had once heard someone hypothesize that there was a mass thought process that allows multiple people to have the same thought or similar thought at the same time.
My most recent experience with this is the Edmund Fitzgerald. At home a couple of days ago, I downloaded the new Google Earth on our Acer computer. The new feature is "Oceans", meaning they've added more details about oceans and lakes. One such detail was shipwrecks were marked. For whatever reason, I started looking at the ones on Lake Erie. That moved me along the great lakes until I had reached Superior. On the east side of the lake was the Edmond Fitzgerald.
I had once thought I heard my uncle Mike mention that he almost traveled on that ship. I can't recall the context wholly, and it seems to fantastical to know for sure.
Well today, as I sit in the office at HWLC, I hear the Gordon Lightfoot ballad playing in one of the classrooms. I do not know the context of why the class would be playing his music, but it was eerie that it came so shortly after my reviewing of the wreck on Google Maps.
I know there is nothing to it probably but still it makes one think about coincidences. Is there more than just similar coinciding events...some link.
