I slept at 4 in the morning with his thoughts swirling in my head. In that place just before sleep, I could see his face and I felt like I was with him. He's 13 hours behind me, away on business but right before I slept, I could have sworn we were together! It had been a couple of days since we last spoke because I couldn't reach his cell and we were never online at the same time. And then less than an hour later my phone woke me up and it was him! Telling me all about Vancouver.. and his work.. and collegues.. and everything else. We spoke for a half an hour and then I went back to peaceful sleep.
The thing is, I wasn't surprised he called when he did. This is something that happens without fail. If I'm thinking of him.. really really thinking of him... or if I need to speak to him.. really really need to speak to him.. the phone always rings and its always him! Sometimes he forgets to call when we've fixed a time.. sometimes he says he'll call me back but then gets busy.. but one thing I know, if I'm thinking of him and really wanting him to call, the phone always rings.
I always have found this strange. There was this one time when I was standing at a train station and he was in his car in another part of the city. There was some confusion and I wanted to call him to check about something. I tried calling him but his phone was out of battery. Before I had even tucked the phone back into my jeans, it rang and it was him! He had gotten out of his car and called me from a public phone because he felt like it. He's not the very mushy types so he would never normally do this. But that day I needed it and he did! How do you explain it?!
This weird thing also works with my parents. At times when I'm just looking at my phone and wondering if I should call them, it rings and its my mum!
And its not just the phone. One time I was sitting in this hall for a seminar and my dad had to come pick me up. He got there early by chance and when he reached the hall, he could see me through the glass doors. I had been listening to the seminar but suddenly I turned to my right and looked straight at me. Turns out he had just been standing there looking at me wondering how to reach me as my phone was switched off. But I had somehow known where to find him. I still wonder how!
And right now.. just as I was wondering how to finish this post.. my phone just rang and its him. I'm speaking to him right now.. wishing him good morning.. I love this weird connection thing!
