There is a much bigger cosmic irony going on in my life: last month my wife was intending to buy a book for me from a thriftstore 300 miles away when we were there last month, but didn't. I went with her and my daughter after Christmas to the same store, not knowing anything about the book, and after entering the store I went right to the book section and found the same book. She later told me her side of the story. You might, or might not, appreciate that I have never read the author before, and really knew very little of the subject(person) until yesterday. The old book "Plato:The Apology, Phaedo
and Crito
of Plato" (The Harvard Classics, copyright 1909,1937).
My wife gets the irony and the synchronicity, both. I read the beginning pages to her last night and she had some very interesting things to discuss with me.
I guess irony and synchronicity can come about by cosmic forces. Rancheria enjoys to ridicule the topic, so I thought it coincidental that I could share this with you today. You may find nothing beyond coincidence, and that is okay; at least it gives you something additional for ammunition.
