   That’s amazing. I’m in tears. Thanks for linking to it.

   Thanks for the link.  As we grow older and sometimes, incrementally, wiser, we also have the potential to grow in awareness.  One of the benefits of this personal growth is that we tend to see synchronicity instead of chance, meaning instead of coincidence.  My suggestion, for whatever it’s worth, is that we look at these events as a tree grown from seedlings of the grandfather’s choice.  When a man or woman chooses to be courageous, honorable, decent and wise, especially when that choice entails tremendous personal sacrifice, then that act gains a life, an energy, of its own.  What we’re witnessing here is a continuation of that energy: the tree, grown tall and strong, has born fruit.  And we’ve been blessed to touch these events, if only for a moment or two and from a great distance.

   What a powerful reminder that personal choice means much, much more than we often think. Not to mention courage.
