These are not the droids you’re looking for

I wonder if this ever happens to anyone else? Sometimes when I learn of a major event after the fact, either in the world or in my circle of friends and family, I think back on what I was doing when it was happening (which is probably not so unusual) and wonder if maybe I “felt” a tiny twinge of something at the exact time of the event. Like an ESP sixth sense kind of thing.

And much as I want to sense the disturbance in the force, I never do.

For instance, when Yvonne had her daughter Zoe at 8:22 a.m. last Saturday morning, I was sitting at my computer making a poster prop in InDesign for our film project. At no time did I suddenly look up and stare off into space going “Huh. I felt a twinge of something there…”

It’s weird, because I almost feel GUILTY for not being able to sense these things as I blithely go about my business unawares. I know that doesn’t make any sense, but then again, there are a lot of things about me that don’t make any sense, so there you go.
