Noticing Synchronicity
Interconnected Experiences
Things happen in our lives for a reason, even if that reason is not clear to you right away.
When events appear to fit together perfectly in our lives it may seem at first that they are random occurrences, things that are the result of coincidence. These synchronous happenings, though, are much more than that, for, if we look at them more closely they can show us that the universe is listening to us and gently communicating with us. Learning to pay attention to and link the things that occur on a daily basis can be a way for us to become more attuned to the fact that most everything happens in our lives for a reason – even when that reason is not clear right away.
When we realize that things often go more smoothly than we can ever imagine, it allows us to take the time to reflect on the patterns in our lives. Even events that might not at first seem to be related to each other are indicators that the universe is working with, not against, us. This idea of synchronicity, then, means that we have to trust there is more to our lives than what we experience on a physical level. We need to be willing to look more closely at the bigger picture, accepting and having confidence in the fact that there is more to our experiences than immediately meets the eye. Being open to synchronicity also means that we have to understand that our lives are filled with both positive and negative events. Once we can recognize that one event is neither more desirable nor better than the other – they all have an overall purpose in our lives — then we are truly ready to listen to the messages the universe gives us.
While we may not be able to see everything in our lives as being synchronous, we can certainly use hindsight to be more aware of how the universe guides us. This sense of wonder at the mysteries of the universe and the interconnectedness present in our lives will help us see our overall ways of being and will in turn make it easier to work more consciously towards our spiritual evolution.
Love this!
You feel like love
I miss your touch
I miss your kiss
Even though you are next to me
You are too far away
Somewhere I can’t reach me
Somewhere I can’t go
Though you are next to me
You are still too far away
Come back to me
Come back, I need you
We haven’t lost it all
Have we?
We can’t
Come back, I need you
Come back to me
You promised, forever ago
That you’d never go
You promised, with all of your heart
Nothing would keep us apart.
So come back.
You promised.
I’m angry today
I feel like my sanity is hanging by a thread.
All I can do is watch the people around me living their lives.
Who would ever comprehend how desperately lonely you can get even when you are surrounded by people.

Science Meets Video Games, Everyone Wins
Chalk up another victory for crowdsourced, video game biomolecule design. Remember FoldIt? Last year, players of this online game succeeded in unlocking a key protein structure that could help fight HIV. And now they’ve gone one step farther by designing an enzyme with increased activity over its ancestor.
FoldIt works by allowing players to fold ribbony biomolecules into various 3D structures, getting points for finding stable and novel shapes and forms. It boasts 240,000 registered players, with over 2,000 active last week.
Not only is this a victory for crowdsourced science, but also a victory for playing video games at work.
Here’s a video with more Foldy goodness:
