Hi. I'm an editor with all the Illumination pubs. I saw your story hit the Q and was drawn to it to review and edit by your title (more on that in my next comment) but someone beat me to it. Regarding the words I highlighted here, there is most often a deeper message, even if it is a mirror coincidence as opposed to a directional coincidence. https://medium.com/channspirations/mirror-coincidences-41893e2e55ed A pet peeve of mine is that many people, most people actually from what I see on this platform, misuse the word coincidence. It does not mean happenstance. As I detail in that story I linked, particularly in endnote #1, dictionaries define coincidence to mean that there is cause and effect but that the cause and effect is of a metaphysical nature. If you are interested in coincidence/synchronicity, my pub that I published that piece in is dedicated to the concept and the the fact that every person has the ability to open portals to other dimensions without even knowing that's what is happening. Here's my description of the genesis of the pub. https://medium.com/p/97516b44185a
