singing & synchronicities!

i so enjoy synchronicities

and in the last few days

two lovely ones have appeared

they both began at our annual family picnic

(on my maternal side)

my cousin and i discovered our mutual love of eagles

and when she mentioned the eagle story in the bible

i asked her where it is

and right there on the grassy spot 

under the willow trees 

with the eagles in the distance

she quoted 

Isaiah 40:30-31

"even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall;

but those who hope in the Lord

will show their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint."

tears came to both of our eyes

now, the synchronicity

arrived the next day

while i was reading a new blog

by a young woman living through

what could be called a tragedy

she quoted this exact passage

in her blog entry

sparkle lights went off in my field!

the second synchronicity

came through a friend 

who mentioned one of her favourite songs from long ago

and later sent me a youtube link

of the song and the lyrics

when i listened to it

one particular line

made me realize 

that it was a song that a few of us

sitting around in a circle

in camping chairs on the grass

at this picnic

sang together

one of my grandmother's favourites

it's called

"in the garden"

and here's a link to a voice that i love

singing this song

happy day of singing and synchronicities to you!
