I have often banged on about how ive been at the sharp end of some strange coincidences that at times have been disturbing , but last weekend it was someone elses turn . I know a couple who are having trouble conceiving . Its common knowledge . I was sat behind the woman in a large crowd recently and I watched intently as over the next few minutes one by one 6 women with children under 2 years old appeared in front of her in a mainly male crowd . As each one accumulated I could see her body language growing more tense . By the time the sixth child arrived I can only imagine what she was thinking .Then cue the babies crying and a " crèche " type atmosphere ! Poor thing .
This made me think about the " coincidences " ive seen . I wondered if she ( as I would in her shoes ) thought it was a positive sign that she was near to conceiving or did she see it as a mocking malevolent cruel happening . Maybe she just thought it was an unpleasant moment ? I wondered how I have perceived my strange happenings . Well I have never viewed them as good or bad , just as a exclamation mark in my consciousness and a cosmic attention grabber . Anyway it was good to see I'm not the only one . Was a force around her ? Well yes something was causing the cluster of mothers but for what reason ?
I guess we all have our proverbial cross to bear. This morning I was thinking about all the "bad" stuff in my life, but then I have to tell myself that many other people have things MUCH worse. As for women with this maternal instinct...if they want children and cannot conceive, I suppose adoption is not out of the question. One can certainly develop loving feelings for an adopted child, I know because I've had puppies I raised that I got very attached to and they aren't even human. Also, lots of children need homes these days. Well, there are always alternatives to being upset, depressed, etc., one just has to make an effort to find them, and implement them I suppose. As for this being a sign for the woman, I don't think it was meant to be cruel...Maybe she could take this as a sign of having to take action for a situation that is no longer working for her, such as considering adoption.
