It is surprising the number of synchronicities that crop up on Facebook. The tale goes something like this…I had just finished a workshop in Manchester and had posted a note on my wall to its success. A comment from a FB friend (let’s call her G) announced that she was in Manchester and could she attend. I replied that alas it had finished but should G wish to have a coffee and cake, I was still around.
So we met for the first time for coffee and had a whale of a time. That evening a post appeared on another friends wall telling of 10 of the oldest trees in the world. Of course our own Ancient Yew is on that list and I remarked that this beautiful specimen was only an hours drive from where I lived. Some time later G added a comment to say that she would really like to visit this tree. So I asked to go with her and a couple of days later we set off for the Yew.
As always, Ancient Yew was inspiring. I didn’t have any questions in my bag to pose to the tree so I enjoyed myself by just basking in its presence and being happy to introduce another soul to this marvelous teacher. My friend G was delighted with the tree and spent much time in commune with it.
The Yew tree is in a church yard next to a pub and we decided to stop in there for a coffee. We actually ended up spending a good hour and more in there discussing all sorts of topics. At one point my visit to Mitchells Fold the night before came up and I mentioned my potential upcoming Castle Tour. I told G that my first port of call had to be Tintagel. G nearly choked and spluttered that that was a place that she had always wanted to go.
That G knew the name was a bit of a surprise but that she wanted to visit it was a bigger surprise to me. Surely a coincidence. Our conversation took a versatile turn here and there and then came across another coinciding juncture when I mentioned that I would be stopping off at Glastonbury on my way South-West. This was another place that G had on her wish-list.
Yes, it did dawn on me that this could be a sign. But I wasn’t about to say anything until I had energetic verification. Also, I thought “so what”? After all, from a person who was into spiritual stuff, Glastonbury wasn’t a stretch at all and Tintagel was only a slight stretch wasn’t it.
If it wasn’t for the final piece of the day…as our conversation concluded, G asked what kind of time frame was I looking to do my journey. I replied that I didn’t know at the moment, To which she replied that if I would consider a journey within the next week or two, she might be able to come along (not that I had actually invited G as yet).
Note that at Mitchells Fold I was told that I had some small but major quest coming up and that I would find out about it before my birthday and have to complete it very soon after. Could this be that?
