REFLECTIONS

  No Radio, No Cell Phone, No GPS etc. What often amazes me is how the old time sailors navigated the oceans. In fact they were even more alone than the astronauts of today. That was bravery! Here are some videos you may enjoy.    Here's a song about how emotionally close the men of these ships became. I often think about my old friend from 40 years ago who for some reason only sends me a Christmas card once a year but never keeps in touch the rest of the year no matter how much I try to write or phone him. It's a real mystery to me. Here's one more:  

 

  FRIDAY, Oct. 9, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory infection, but experts have suspected the virus can also infiltrate the eyes.

I believe coincidences are not purely determined by luck.  There is somehow a connection between events, a sort of energy-like force.  Maybe not electromagnetic or gravitational or kinetic but still something real has to be involved.  It can't be something imaginary or something we just never noticed before. When my daughter came to visit us once she took a bus and a man on the bus offered her some orange flavored Tic Tacks. That day just before she arrived I purchased a box of orange flavored Tic Tacks! When my daughter was living in Brooklyn, Brooklyn was frequently in the news. When she moved to New Jersey, New Jersey was often in the news.  Sometimes I think about someone just before they call. I can say a word and a person on TV says the same word an instant later! These "coincidences" are actually synchronicities: " the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection".   Here are a few quotes

  (I edited this image is from Web) I had a dream last night that seemed so real. It was not the first time I dreamt of  a dark solid stone building. Set back away from the street by a moderately long driveway. It was as fearsome as it was somehow inviting. Curiosity got the better of me. I went inside. It was uninhabited and had a steady slow cold draft running through the hallway, scary. Up the wide stone stairs, I was halfway up to the next floor when I woke. I was sure the building was somewhere in our neiborhood. My wife was sure it was only a dream and that she never saw such a building. But what if the building did somehow exist? Does reality exist only while we are awake? Two very short videos: Are we living in a virtual reality?
