Synchronicity: Enjoy the Ides of March

[wolven7]

Tool - [H.]--- I was reading A Disease of Language on the train, today, when I noticed someone I hadn't seen in about a year and a half, and, even when I noticed, was never really friends with. Friends of friends, and all that.

She waved at me, when I started walking off the train, because I was pretty sure she didn't remember me, and I was set to let it go. Another in the long lines of names and faces I remember, who don't remember me. I'm sure i'm in someone's list of the same.

Anyway, we talked on the way to the mall (I wanted breakfast, because my lovely mech_angel woke me up with the phrase "Wakey wakey, eggs and bacey."), and she asked what I was studying, in graduate school, after being surprised that I was in graduate school, "already." I told her, and that started this whole conversation about the nature of belief and spirituality, and the kinds of things she's been putting out into the world.

The conversation was, apparently, an affirmation, for her. It was exactly what I needed to turn my day around.

Tool - [Useful Idiot]--- You see, I don't get to spend much time with mech_angel, in the morning, before I go to class, and she goes to work, so that tends to make me a bit cranky.

Tool - [Fort-Six & 2]--- I was extra cranky, this morning, for not having remembered my dreams, except vaguaries of overpasses, like sections of Maryland, and it being cold in my room. So that, in deciding to stop for food, I ended running into someone only partially known, and having an indepth conversation with them about the nature of the universe, while eating a delicious bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit was a beautiful thing.

It is also March 15th. Today will be a good day.

I never said you had to reply in comments, though I certainly implied it with my diatribe. E-mail. Call me. Come to my house, if I know you like that. Any way you slice it, I'm here, and so are you. If the interneet isn't right for you, you know how to find me. I'm right here.

When I'm not, you'll know.

I recall reading you feel less fight-y

In case it came across as recrimination, I want to clarify that my previous reply post was a heads-up on weirdings of humanoid behavior that you might not have caught. The greatest of the oddities, to my mind, was the way that questions I'd ordinarily answer without a second thought were held up with the question of whether I owed you a reply, because of the place and method of the asking.
I think even an e-mail addressed to me would have gotten a reply, especially if mine were one of fewer than ten names on the address bar.

Even still, there is often not the time, so the missive is massive, and the responses individual, if all goes according to plan.

But when does it?

I think people coming over for this kind of thing would be good. Actually, had half an idea when hanging with raoin last week, and pondered holding fire-circles. I'll have told you about this before you read it though....

As I said (see, you were right), I think that the same preventative manner that arises, here, would arise in the Circle dynamic, unless done in several smaller groups, with people who know and are comfortable with each other. There would be, I think, some overlap, but no unity.
