An Unusual Thing

I am not sure if I believe in fate but something which happened recently has made me wonder.  In the last blog I mentioned an unusual thing which happened whilst we were wandering around near The Peace Pagoda, well I need to set the scene.  We walked up to The Cedar Tree following the steps and footpath from the car park below, we went to the tree first because as I have written about in a previous blog or two it is a special place and one which we use as a place of memorial for my two dogs Mika and Nelson.  We had a look at some of the memorials and looked at the ones we had left over 6 months before for Mika and Nelson. 

Roughly the route we were walking to The Peace Pagoda

After a few minutes we then headed towards The Peace Pagoda, and here is where is gets a little spooky.  Rather than taking the path round, we had our walking shoes on so decided to head across the grass which is a shorter route, albeit still a large open expanse of grass.  As we were walking towards the Pagoda, Jamie stood on one of the pictures of Mika and Nelson we had left not in 2010 but in 2009.  The weird thing was what would have been the chances of that happening - us being there that day, us walking across the grass and Jamie actually standing on the picture.  We felt it was very weird, but in a good way.


The picture on the right is the one Jamie stepped on, allowing us to put it back into its position on the tree.

We did, of course, return the photo back to the tree.  We all just felt as though we were exactly where we should have been that day, to ensure the photo was returned to its place.  I am sure there are lots of people who could offer us rational explanations, give us a figure for the probability of it happening, say that it really was just a coincidence (although there were no other photos around if for example some had been blown off) but nevertheless and whatever the reasoning it was and did feel like we were meant to be there to put it right.
