Emily, you have an excellent grasp of the meaning of semiotics. Being a long time student of Jung, it is one of my specialities. I pay great attention to our synchronistic expearances, yet I have not adequately addressed the other less attention getting "coincidences", the less than knock you down incidents that do have meaning, perhaps great meaning.
I am getting that special note pad now. I have the dream journals that I no longer adequately use, thinking I'll remember the important dreams. That is a mistake, and I know it well. It is a bit disturbing to realize how lax I have become.
THANK YOU, for reminding me of the importance of your suggestions. You have been a timely, great help.
