synchronicity
Please read THIS first (you don’t have to read all of it) and then return for the rest of this evening’s post…Done? Good. Let’s continue shall we?
I’m currently experiencing a strange but wonderful synchronicity related to (surprise surprise) running. This particular sync (I don’t feel like typing the whole word again) involves someone I almost married. It was long ago (1992) and her name was Bev. Like I said, we almost married. Close but no cigar.
Like most break-ups ours was painful and I hurt for a long time. Also like most break-ups, I eventually got over it, learned from the experience and became a better person.
But guess what else happened after the break up? Yup. You got it. I started running.
This all happened shortly after becoming freshly unemployed so not only was I heartbroken, I was broke! Inside, I knew I had to get active. I needed a cheap, physical outlet. I also wanted to be alone with my grief and running fit the bill for all those things so I started. Over time, running became my salvation and, as you know, a true source of joy and passion in my life.
And it all began because I broke up with Bev.
Recently, Bev found my blog. Apparently she was searching for “complete running information” and found it from there. She then nervously sent me an email and, if you peruse the comments in my art post, you’ll see she’s now left me a comment. You see…
…Bev’s taken up running.
Synchronicity.
Welcome Bev. Welcome to running. I truly hope it brings you the joy it’s brought me.
