What comes first? The chicken or the egg?
Is it a self-fulfilling prophecy? Or are you just picking up on what’s already going down?
Is it Your Echo or Theirs?
Are you self-sabotaging? Or are you an innocent bystander watching a train-wreck-in-progress?
These are some of the questions which occur to me when I have a foreshadowing of The Thing Which Is About To Happen.
And then — it Happens.
I KNEW it!
Sometimes The Thing is a pleasant experience and we put it down to serendipity — good luck — being in the right place at the right time— following your instincts — and Wah La! Magic happens! Case in point — parking places. I am The Queen of Rock Star parking.
But when The Thing is not so pleasant — we deny those same instincts which gave us a heads up about The Thing Which Is About To Happen and we blame ourselves for the bad shit. To add balance — I am also The Queen of Break Ups.
In acknowledgment of Our Early Warning System — People will say they ‘knew’ — or they ‘saw it coming’. All the disasters in their lives. But did we bring on the disaster by ‘knowing about it’?
Not hardly. Everyone’s Life has pain, heartache, and challenges.
