You used it to weave together a lovely posting that intrigued me with its synchronicity. You also, without trying to, encouraged me to be more aware of that which takes places around me. Usually I notice three occurrences. But your series seems pregnant with meaning to me. What meaning? I don't know. Maybe the writing about it so that all of us who read you become more aware.

There are three Writer's Almanac anthologies, the latest being, "Good Poems: American Places." I always like reading the others poems by the featured poet.

This was such an evocative post and I'm sure I will seeing tangerine more because of it. <br /><br />I would like Garrison Keillor's anthology. I read American Almanac most mornings, seeing what poem is present for the day. It almost always takes me somewhere else that I didn't know I needed to go. lifeonthecutoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14657395265006688388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-34645279844545358692012-10-28T09:37:04.759-05:002012-10-28T09:37:04.759-05:00I've had a similar experience.

One day for no apparent reason I was thinking about one of my favorite authors, Edgar Allen Poe.<br />Then later that day at the post office there was a display of a stamp of Edgar Allen Poe. <br />Coincidence? Or was it something in the scope of "reality" reaching out to me in response to my thoughts?<br />I wrote a post about this on my blog. <br />A comment from my daughter about the post:<br />The orange tic tac coincidence... some creep on the bus gives me orange tic tacs "you look like an orange tic tac girl.." and then I get in the car with you and you pull out orange tic tacs! I have not once in the past ten years bought any type of tic tac -- let alone orange ones.<br /><br />There were other incidences but this one came to mind.<br />Have a good week Teresa.
