My philosophy in life…. well…. one of my philosophies in life… is that we are here to learn.

The learning could mean different things, for different people.  But I don’t think there is a single one of us… who absolutely knows it all.  That would be one smart cookie, right there.

So we live.  And we learn.

Some people immediately discount that which they do not understand.  If there isn’t cold, hard factual evidence… or to the other end of the  spectrum …. …. if it doesn’t match up with their beliefs…. they throw “the idea” out the door.  Kick it to the curb.

“Chris baby.  The world is flat.  What in God’s Green Acres are you doing sailing over the edge?   That’s a good waste of a boat.  You are mad, Chris.  MAD!”

And so it goes.

I like to believe in the unknown.  I like a really good coincidence, I’ll tell you.

Some things… I certainly doubt.  Like those Ginsu Knives.  I’m not sure they really cut through aluminum cans and then slice a tomato… just like THAT.

Yet.  I do love to believe.

Especially in the serendipitous.

And today.  I tried to give away a box.  Now….  When that box fell open for the third time, spilling all over … and then on the fourth time, when the end tore open… and all the contents spilled on the floor… again….. for THAT fourth time.

It just makes you wonder.

So bet me.  I kept what was in the box.
