This painting, by Odilon Redon, is called Pandora’s Box. It fits this synchronicity. I discovered this artist through Gypsy’s <\/a>blog, which is a visual feast. So one night I clicked on the artist’s name under one of her entries – and a whole new world of color opened up.
+++<\/p>\n

Sometimes our inner reaction to circumstances manifests in a physical way involving an object. That\u2019s what happened to a friend, Rita, after she got a call informing her that her long-time business partner had died suddenly of a massive coronary at home. She not only grieved the loss of a friend, but immediately worried about finding a new partner. They had shared the workload and the expenses, and now she was faced with finding someone who could invest as well as work in the jewelry sales business.<\/p>\n

Rita was still mulling over this development when she drove to an elementary school a few minutes later to pick up her daughter. While waiting in the pickup line, her car\u2019s engine suddenly died and refused to start \u2013 a perfect synchronistic expression of her fears about her partner\u2019s death.

 This synchronicity is similar in tone and texture to one we posted earlier called End of the Road. <\/a> Death is certainly an attractor of synchronicity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
