As a part of the fate of my life, ie where I am “pre-destined’ to go, I feel that there are certain recurring themes that thread themselves through my life. It is hard to explain why something strikes a chord for being a “theme” while other recurring events are nothing special. I think the things I categorize as “themes” are things that repeatedly show up in unrelated events, unrelated people, and the things themselves seem utterly random.
So some “themes” that I have noticed over the years: the city of Pittsburgh, the country of Ireland, the language of Portuguese, the state of South Carolina (and not because I am from there), boys named Eric, and the number 10. These “themes” keep popping up in the people I meet, the places I go for vacation, for business, by chance, the way things end up … over and over, and over again.
Makes me wonder, what does it all mean?
