Ah, but didn't some philosopher or psychiatrist or someone (I think it
was Jung, actually; but I'm not sure) say something about coincidence
being only what we call patterns we don't understand?
Although I guess my feeling of existence is closer to that of the
Muslim:  Allah recreates everything every second; and therefore all
things are always new; and nothing can ever be taken for granted.
Of course I do take it for granted that Allah will keep re-creating the
world long enough for these words to reach you.  (BG)
