Synchronicity (#1)

Charlie`s brother at Check Point Charlie, Berlin.

Most of us have learned to pursue life with our egos alone, waking up in the morning and thinking we must take complete control of the day. Even sometimes we drive life with mathemathical calculation and drive it like we are doing lab works: hypothesis-designed experiment-proven hypothesis.

In reality, life is full of unplanned moments. It is full of significant coincidences. Coincidences can be dramatic, but they can also be very subtle and fleeting, and thus easily dismissed. Then our personal challenge is to overcome the cultural conditioning that leads us to reduce life to the ordinary, commonplace, and nonmysterious.

I remembered two months ago on the third day of May, I was in an aeroplane which flied me to Schiphol. I did not even meet most of you. But now, you have been a part of my life, Friends. Do you still believe that to answer questions on life is to mean moment and to understand connection of moments? Greeting from UGM.
