Dessert Decision
Last night I was walking into the Wedge grocery store with my gitrlfriend Becky – we had been charged with bringing dessert to bring to a dinner at our friend Jacque’s house.
(mentioned in the “Milk” part of yesterday’s post)
We were separated somehow going into the store, and I wound up on my cellphone with Jacque. She’d called to tell us what time we should be there by – and that there would be anywhere between 6 and 12 people coming. Standing at bakery counter looking over the delicious options, I gradually realized that I didn’t want to spend the money necessary to feed up to a dozen people with individual fancy organic pastries – but then what?
Jacque suggested a box of cookies.
“No, we should bring something better than that.”
Ice cream came to mind – but no, it was frigid outside, who would want frozen dessert? Hmm … but maybe along with something hot, ice cream could hit the spot …
Then inspiration struck. “You don’t have a microwave … is your oven free? Maybe we could get a couple of apple pies and heat them way up in the oven and have them with vanilla ice cream?”
At that moment, Becky appeared around the corner with a basket of groceries – seeing its contents, I started laughing and handed her my cellphone, saying, “Here, tell Jacque what you just showed up with.”
“Umm, ok … vanilla ice cream and cobbler – will we be able to use your oven?”

Synchronicity? Low-grade “couple telepathy”? Parallel reasoning from two minds that think alike?
Whatever. It was delicious – and the coincidence just made it sweeter.

It wasn’t only the choices of ice cream or apple pie; it was the the choices and pairing of the two along with the “hot and cold” idea that was so delicious! I think those factors add to the synchronicity.

I think that telepathy with partners, or someone close, flows easier. Whatever the case, good choice for dessert!

Thanks for continuing to explore this. As with most issues relating to global consciousnes, I believe that the more of us who believe / invest in certain trains of thought the more coal we are collectively shoveling into that train’s engine.
See you in the sunset.
