Talk About... Hints & Signs!

We had a concert at the store the other week and the artist, (how can I forget the name, I know him so well?!), played a beautiful arrangement of the Beatles' song, "In My Life". On our way home, inside the BART, a young father and his sons "serenaded" the passengers. They were not street musicians, just trying to "make an honest living" with their music.  And they also sang the Beatles' "In My Life", in fact, it was their first song!

What is the connection there? We know how Nature talks to us, sometimes in the most mundane things. But when it repeats itself, back to back, at that, you just know there's more to it than just the events recurring, a mere coincidence! I don't know the lyrics, but somehow it behooves you to reflect on Life - our lives together, Norman and me, as we both heard the song together same day same time twice, and also as individuals.
As soon as we reached home, I googled the lyrics and here they are -

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more



So simple yet so deep - BEAUTIFUL!
