Ooo Baby It's a Wild World...

So I'm walking down the street minding my
own business when I suddenly think of a
dear friend that I haven't seen in 7 years...
last I heard, he was living in Santa Fe...
His name is Darren. I think I actually spoke
his name out loud...which I'm sure didn't
draw any attention to me because people
are talking to themselves all the time...
Some are simply crazy and some are talking
on their phones attached to their ears...they
look like they are crazy but as far as I can tell
they are as sane as you and I...

but I digress...

I walk for another block when I hear from
behind me someone calling my name....It's
Darren...imagine my shock....it's as if I had
a witch-like power of incantation and cleverly
conjured him up on the spot...Maybe I should've
been thinking of lottery numbers or something
even more valuable...like a contestant spot on
Deal Or No Deal...

But it gets even weirder...

Darren tells me he was just walking down the
street when he heard someone say "Dude", and
he swore it was my voice. He turned around and
of course it wasn't me....he walked another block
and there I was, looking in a storefront window...

Can you hear the ominous organ music ...

What are the odds of two people...being in the same
place at the same time...thinking of each other at the
same moment...and then running into each other?

Is it FATE...or is it CHANCE?

What a wild world we live in.

What wild coincidence has happened to you?
