Some days when I\u2019m hoping for a synchronicity, searching for one, nothing happens.\u00a0 Other days, I see a synchro only in retrospect and wonder why I didn\u2019t recognize it as it was happening.\u00a0 That\u2019s what happened today.<\/p>\n

My sister flew into town yesterday. She and some friends from high school \u2013 five women who have known each other more than 40 years \u2013 take a trip together every year. This year\u2019s trip is a Caribbean cruise, that leaves out of Fort Lauderdale. So this morning, we drove Mary to Pompano Beach, picked up one of the women, then drove to yet another woman\u2019s house in Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the synchro: our trip started on Greenbrier and ended on Greenbrier. What are the odds? So this would qualify as a what Wolfgang Pauli called a “word seriality” or what we’ve referred to as a cluster, where a word or phrase comes up several times.<\/p>\n

I thought there might be something to consider in the word, greenbrier, and Google turned up some interesting references.\u00a0 If, for instance, you\u2019re ever lost in the wild and come across this plant, the stem, leaves and tendrils are edible!<\/p>\n

The scientific name for greenbriers come from the Greek myth of Krokus and the nymph Simlax. \u201cThough this myth has numerous forms, it always centers around the unfulfilled and tragic love of a mortal<\/a> man who is turned into a flower<\/a>, and a woodland nymph<\/a> who is transformed into a brambly vine.\u201d The entry in wikipedia cited the ballad of Barbara Allen:<\/p>\n

They buried Barbara in the old church yard<\/em><\/p>\n

They buried Sweet William beside her<\/em><\/p>\n

Out of his grave grew a red, red rose<\/em><\/p>\n

And out of hers a briar.<\/em><\/p>\n

So I googled Barbara Allen and discovered that the Everly Brothers had done their own rendition of the ballad. I\u2019m not sure if there\u2019s a deeper synchro here, but I enjoyed listening to the Everly Brothers singing it.<\/p>\n
