Just a brief note on an interesting occurrence. As I was walking home from work I was enjoying how beautiful the sun looked coming up over the clouds. It looked like a painting it was so beautiful. I remember something drawing my attention to look over to my left. As I did so I saw one of the police officers driving by (probably Pasquale) waving at me. What struck me as odd was the fact that I heard no noise to prompt me to look. He was outside of my field of vision so there was no visual cue that I was aware of (outside to my left flank). There was some strange subconscious �nothing� which pulled my attention that way. I look back at this nearly instantaneous and fleeting moment and can find no physical cue to have made me turn and look that way. It was the same phenomenon of looking at a car near you on the freeway only to see that person looking at you. I analyzed the moment before I was drawn to look that way and came up with nothing other than the physical motion of turning that way. There was some elusive and strange �knowledge� however that sort of �guided� my head to turn that way. Once I saw the car and the waving hand, my mind was bewildered as to what made me turn that way, but there was that intangible �spirit� that was not at all phased and in fact KNEW what was going on. I guess what makes it so difficult is that my Mind could not reference it, in fact, couldn�t even register it. To my mind nothing at all happened. I turned my head and there was the officer. But there was that ethereal wisp of awareness, so different than mind, that is there and untouchable by mind but seems to direct it none the less. Hopefully, I will begin to experience it more and more.
Oh, another thing. The simple occurrences of the number 23 coming up was terribly noticeable today. I mean very obvious. The clock, people�s change, the numbers of creatures while playing Heroes 2. Every time I turned a page or such, there it was. It almost drove me batty.

Well just one little thing today. I found it odd that a new song popped into my head at work tonight. It was the song �In the Mood�, an oldie. I began whistling it right after this one couple came in. I hadn�t thought of this particular song in a very long time. Then when I went up to the register, and said hi to the pair, the woman (she works at a bar) said to me. �I can�t believe you�re whistling that song. We have it on our jukebox for the old timers.� So was it chance or something more. All I can say is that I didn�t recognize it �coming� from anywhere in my mind. Just like the awareness of the police officer, it seemed to just pop in from that shadowy nothingness.
