This is one of the view’s from the place in the Florida keys where we stayed are staying. The house belongs to our agent, who uses it only during the winter months, and he was kind enough to allow us to use it for a week or so. There is a serenity about this spot that blurs time. One day melts into another.
The trip started with a cool synchronicity, which we wrote about here. We were hoping for many more, of course.So one evening we’re sitting in the back yard, enjoying the sunset, and Rob points to the edge of the seawall, where a date was inscribed into wet concrete. 8-5-80. “Hey, look at that,” he says. “The foundation for the house was laid 30 years ago.”
“Wait!” I exclaimed. “Today is August 5! It’s exactly 30 years since the foundation was laid!”
“Synchro!” we said simultaneously.
I got up from my chair to snap a photo of the inscribed date. And because it was evening and the shadows were long, I realized neither of us had seen the 1 in front of the 5: 8-15-80. We were 20 days short of exactly 30 years.
It was almost as if the trickster was back there in the evening shadows, chuckling to himself, snickering behind his hands. “Oops, sorry about that,” he seemed to whisper. “No synchro here, MacGregors.”
I think the Trickster probably follows most of us everywhere!
LOL! Looks like the Trickster never takes a vacation…
True, 10 days isn't much in the bigger scheme of things. But how much more powerful it would've been if it had been exact!
oh, yeah – i can definitely see time and lots of other things blurring in that paradise!!!
neat trick from MR. T 🙂
I think this is a great synchro because in the space of time, what's 10 days?
Beautiful photo and place, I would never want to leave!
Maybe no synchro but it looks a great place to be / or have been.
Vacation over! Stay dry!
I kind of think of FL as a permanent state of where time blurs… as all Caribbean / tropical places should be. 🙂 We're in for flooding up here … they say. Hope your vacation fairs better!
