Paulie once spoke about the concept of synchronicity,
coincidence that is more than just a coincidence, perhaps tied to Young's idea
of the collective unconscious.
We are all tied together by this common central
consciousness and that we sometimes evoke it by accident when we begin to peel
away the layers.
Paulie was constantly trying to get down deep into this
psychological limbo.
Over the last two weeks or so I have stumbled over the edge
into it twice, once when wandering around
Passaic only to discover the band she played for all those
long years ago was playing there in one of the parks.
I had no reason to be in that place at that time or to see
that sign posted near one of the local schools --other than my trying to kill
time during the drying cycle of my laundry.
Even that was unusual since I most often do laundry on
Sundays in Secaucus but decided that week to go back to the old digs in Passaic
instead
Last week we were planning a trip to Asbury Park. we go
there about once a month on Fridays, though next week for Columbus Day weekend,
we will be taking our annual trip to Cape May instead , so won’t know if she
once again visited Asbury again.
I had to cancel the trip to Asbury last week because of the
Menendez indictment and thus managed to avoid an encounter with her as she
visited the beach resort with her mother.
This second bit of coincidence has me a little concerned no
doubt invoked by my posting old journals something I am tempted now to stop, if
only not to stir up old ghosts but leaving the question if I continue as to
what fate has in store next.
