Posthuman Blues

Synchronicity!

I almost forgot -- this evening I paused in my reading of "Triffids" in the midst of a chapter called "A Light in the Night." I then walked down the street to Barnes & Noble, where I went to the New Age section and opened a book whose first chapter was also called "A Light in the Night." Moreover, I've actually been thinking about nightlights recently; just the other day I was checking out the selection in a drug store and almost purchased one.

Things like this happen quite often to me. Is it all sheer coincidence or am I glimpsing some sort of underpinning beneath the veneer of normal consciousness?
