Too Good Not To Be True

Described as a magazine, but not exactly light after dinner reading

If something sounds too good to be true it probably is

However, I've experienced synchronicity

It feels too good to be true, but it is

True that is...

synchronicity (plural synchronicities)
  1. The state of being synchronous or simultaneous.
  2. (Jungian psychology) Coincidences that seem to be meaningfully related; supposedly the result of "universal forces".
Seemingly inexplicable things happen all the time and are soon forgotten but not those

The feeling is what stays with you. When someone special in your life is no longer there, gradually you start to find it harder to look inside yourself and see their face, that fades over time but not the way they emotionally impacted upon you. Ask anyone who has lost a loved one

Quoting from the Quiver:
An Illustrated Magazine for Sunday And General Reading 1892

The Last Year Of Life

If only we knew, a year before our friends die, the exact date of their departure, how differently we should treat them! It is terribly sad to think, when a loved friend has been taken from us, of the many things we would have done or left undone if we had been informed by some infallible authority that the last year he was with us was to be the last year of his life, what allowances we would have made for his apparent stupidity and irritability which we may have attributed to other causes, but which were really due to weakness. Perhaps, however, this knowledge would not have made us act very differently. There are people who know that they themselves cannot live more than one or at most two years, and yet the knowledge makes very little difference to their lives.

You know they will be gone at some point, so what stopped you from treating them right from the start?

Light &
Love
