    Years back, I had once accused a friend, because he forgot my birthday. He defended himself by saying. “I knew it. I had a sign that I was forgetting something. I just didn’t know what.” I also remember thinking that he had just called coincidences a sign; he was giving meaning to random acts.Now, I realize that we all do the same. We search for meaning from within ourselves or an external source. Searching for an answer, direction, a warning, that we’re heading the wrong way, straight for collision.
