I lost the key to my safe the other day. I didn’t remember taking it off my keychain, but there it wasn’t. I looked everywhere I thought I may have stashed it in a spontaneous moment of paranoia but could not find it.

A few minutes ago I went out to my truck to bring in my groceries. Walking back to the house I looked down and saw something glinting in the sunlight. My fist impulse was to ignore it, but my curiosity got the better of me. What could be so shiny? It was a keyring. Attached to it and half buried in the grass was the key to my safe.

I have a friend who always has interesting, one could say supernatural, experiences, and on a number of occasions she has expressed surprise that I don’t have similar experiences. Could this be such an experience? Is it only a matter of interpretation? When something exceptional happens maybe I don’t celebrate it as such. I just roll with it. The universe is big, so of course odd things happen.
