An e-mail Sunday night from a friend mentioned a synchro about wine. That startled me because a few hours earlier I had also experienced a meaningful coincidence related to wine.
My friend, Kevin, wrote:
“Weird synchro last night. I popped a movie in the DVD player. Went to the kitchen to pour a glass of wine and my wife was opening a bottle, a Carmenere from Chile. It had a reference to the grape being from the Jurassic period on the label. Guess what movie I put in just before that? Uh huh, Jurassic Park. Pretty weird. This a bottle we’ve been saving for some time so neither of us remembered the Jurassic reference. No idea what it is supposed to mean.”
I wrote back, “Wow! I had a wine synchro today. I was watching the Dolphin-Ravens game, and when Trish came home from the grocery story the score was tied 6-6. I walked into the kitchen and saw that she had bought a bottle of cab labeled, Ravens. I knew right then that the Dolphins were going to lose. Sure enough. Final score: Ravens 26, Dolphins 23. Trish has no interest in football and had no idea the Dolphins were playing the Ravens.”
I wouldn’t have written a post about a wine synchro if it had only been my story or only Kevin’s. But when we both had wine synchros, well, that’s a double synchro. I guess somehow he and I are on the same wave length.
neat synchros! i suppose the proper remark now is just one word: cheers! 😉
And cheers back to ya, Gypsy!
Interesting how synchros can link together like this. Probably someone else had another Raven’s synchro, which would be another link in a long chain of events.
Linked synchros, I like that!

My oldest son writes songs,or I should say beats for the guy who sings this song,

which was written before the Ravens won the Super Bowl last year and I did write about all my Raven/Crow syncs that happened that day,

which oddly enough was the day MC Lars was performing in Brisbane unknown to me until my youngest son who is pictured in the post told me he had to get home soon because he was meeting his older brother in the city (just across the river from the crow on the BBQ) to see MC Lars do a gig.
My youngest son was the one who went to Bali this year and bought me the Balinese mask that hangs on my wall and his birthday is the 5th July,one day before Hanabeth’s,who’s is on the 6th July,according to her book.
Seeing Megan’s painting was a bit of a sync for me,as my artist friend Starr just sent out a Facebook feed of her new 30 paintings,most of which are of our favourite Brisbane bridge,which she gave me permission to use on my blog for posts about that bridge.
But she also paints a lot of pictures of wine and wine glasses as well.
There are a few wine paintings amongst her new ones,but she seems to have a thing for Paris now in her paintings since she has been holidaying over there.

I remember looking at her paintings. She’s good! This wine glass Megan painted is for something called Paint Nites, where people learn to paint an image in about two hours, at a local watering hole. It started in Boston and has spread throughout the U.S. Now it’s launching in Orlando.
Megan will be teaching her first workshop on November 10!
I just had another wine sync after writing the above comment.
I’m reading one of the books I bought at the Byron Bay Writer’s festival called “Shock Waves” by Hanabeth Luke,
https://www.amazon.com/Shock-Waves-Hanabeth-Luke/dp/0987408100
I met her that day and and got a signed copy from her and had a chat with her about Bali,as my son had just spent 10 days over there and been to the site of the bombing,which was all just a coincidence,because I knew nothing at all really about Hanabeth and her story,I just went to see my old mate Steve Bisley do his book talk,but the organizers had paired them together for their talks,so I had to sit through her presentation as well…which I’m glad I did.Anyway I started reading her book yesterday because I want to get through it before the 12th October,which is the 11 year anniversary of the bombing.
OK…the wine sync.After I wrote my comment above I went back to reading “Shock Waves” and this was on page 26 (there’s your 26 again Rob)
“Lilac Wine started to play through the speakers,’Oh! I love that song!’ I said smiley to Marc.
‘It’s my favourite he replied excitedly,smiling back at me.”

Marc was her boyfriend who was killed instantly in the bomb blast 11 years ago and this was a recalling of their first romantic exchange.
I wrote about meeting her that day here –
https://brizdazz.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/unknown-things.html
There are some photos of her next to Steve Bisley on stage at the BBWF.
It’s what I like about the BBWF,it brings me stories and authors on a synchronistic level who I would normally not be bothered reading if not for meeting then on the day.
the weird thing also is that Hanabeth has spent her life living between Mike Perry’s Cornwall and my part of the world Byron Bay as her parents are surfers chasing the endless summer.
Interesting, Daz. Thanx for the links. Will check them out!
Looking at Megan’s painting it looks like surf’s up in the wine glass,which is appropriate as Hanabeth Luke is a mad keen surfer.
I also found a Miley Cyrus version of
‘Lilac Wine’ which I have to grudgingly admit is quite good.

And Mike Perry might find this stat interesting,there are 767 likes for Miley’s version at the You Tube site,so far.
Just a few more syncs I found as I read further into “Shock Waves”.
On the cover of the book it a photo that was used in papers all round the world of Hanabeth rescuing a 17 year old boy who had burns to 70% of his body.

His mother’s name is Megan ,but sadly Tom ended up dying from a stroke a few weeks later.
Also Hanabeth and friends held a memorial surf for Marc at Dolphins Beach,Byron Bay and they could hear whalesong when they stuck their heads underwater.And when they got out of the water,one lone dolphin was seen frolicking in and out of the water where they had just held the ceremony.
I haven’t seen any references to ravens yet though.
You can see an interview that aired on a national Australian network where Hanabeth talks about the Bali bombing and their prophetic dreams a few days before it happened in real life at this link,but it will only be available for 10 days…so hurry.

Thanks for this link! Will check it out.
This synchronicity is an odd one. For Rob, it seemed to be precognitive. For his friend, it seemed to reflect what was going on in his immediate surrounding. Interesting.
Yes, it is a kind of odd duck!
