Co-inky-dinks and waterfalls


Several years ago I began to experience synchronicity. Woody and I had just started dating when it began to happen. I awakened to the sound of a train going by. The rumble reminded me of the time I had visited Dry Falls, a waterfall near Highlands, North Carolina.You could walk under the shelf as the water flowed over and down in front. It caused the earth to tremble from the enormous energy and force of nature. The power scared me then. But not this day. This day, I was full of courage, hope and life. I longed to feel that power in a new way, with my new love. I wanted to feel the "earth move". LOL. I decided to ask Woody to take me there, but first, I needed to go to Louisiana to see my father. I was asked by a family member to bring a picture of Woody. I went over to Woody's and he offered me a cup of coffee. I asked him if he had a picture of himself that I could have. He said "yes". I watched as he walked to his bedroom, opened a drawer and took out a picture. As he got closer, he held the picture up so that I could see it. It was a picture of him, standing in front of a beautiful waterfall. I was astounded. I asked him if it was the waterfall of my past. Dry Falls?! He said it was. I was speechless. Unbeknown to him, I had just been thinking of the waterfall that morning. Our relationship was so new. I knew that it was a special moment in time. A sign of God's hand in my life. An affirmation of my new path. I framed the picture that weekend. Even now, it sits on my nightstand, after fourteen years. It is a reminder to me of that special day. Being in tune with God and the flow of life. I would visualize the future and my life would flow toward it. Many more of these incidents have happened since. I plan to share a few more. God has truly blessed me with this little gift. My co-inky-dinks. His way of saying hello.
