2/24: morning/afternoon coincidence

When I smelled the winter honeysuckle this morning, I thought of a former student because my winter honeysuckle pamphlet had made him laugh (in a good way).  When I got home in the afternoon, a letter from him was waiting for me in the mail!

He has moved.  I knew his old apartment because a college friend used to live in the same neighborhood; turns out, the same college friend also used to live in his new town.  Not a profound coincidence, but still a secondary serendipity.  I'll take it as a sign that sometimes the pieces of my world click together.
