And so it goes… It’s arguable that life is perfect. That everything comes just at the right time. That our struggle against the flow is trivial, wasteful, and pointless, as what is due is on its way. Even in moments of sadness do I recognize that I have had and will have once again in the future~ my time to shine.
How is the proof of perfection measured? Why in the little things, of course. In those tiny, serendipitous experiences that align our moments in the strangest and most unexpected of ways.
Today a colleague and myself were having a totally random conversation about accents. I was telling her that how it would be super interesting to study accents in the U.S. in relation to how and when they were brought over, and how and when they began to become distilled and eventually shed, as westward expansion gained momentum. ( As you likely know, the British colonized from the East coast and moved west, so by default accents are by far the strongest in New England and then of course, the South.)
I have always gotten a kick out of linguistics and etymology, but never thought much of the connection between expansion and settlement from the 1600’s affecting our very diction now! Amazing! Anyways, so these were my thoughts~ there you go, now they are yours. (Tawk amongst ya’selves.)
When I came home today, my colleague had sent me an article from mental floss magazine that was sent to her today. So take a guess about the content. Go on. You know you want to… Ok, ok. “When Did Americans Lose Their British Accents?“. Yes kids; that was sent to her. It’s a pretty interesting and neat little ditty too. Scope it! …Now you tell me~ do you believe in coincidence, or do you think it’s far too random? I’m not sure what the source of Godliness/ Goddessness or wild, beautiful deity presence is out there, but I do feel pretty confident that I just got winked at.
Love it.
Pigeon Heart Ponderings 
Oh, I’ve wondered about that. Looking forward to the reading the article. I know that I’m always amazed when I experience a rash of coincidences. They seem to run in threes with me. I don’t know what it means though.
3, eh? Interesting. I don’t know that I have tallied, but Ill keep an eye out for it. Generally for me these things begin happening when I am in / approaching a good place in my life. It’s been so busy here in Lisaland w/ Grad school and work ect, and I am happy to say that Im finally starting to feel caught up to myself. Now there is room for serendipity. Hallelujah! Thanks for reading, Linda! Yes, do check the article, it’s pretty rad.
I think we attract what we think about. Not coincidence. I also think, we notice it more (or maybe it happens more) when we are “flowing” smoothly in life.
I fully agree with you*
And also the general usage, like colour vs. color, humor vs. humour, etc. My Blog is called darkofficehumour and not darkofficehumor coz. I live in India and the English we use comes from the British.
Right. I like that too. Sometimes I ask for a favour or what not. Fancy.
