Meeting John Denver

I had attended a workshop where John Denver’s songs helped clarify my decision to marry. On Friday I actively thought about how he could contact John Denver to say thank you but dismissed it as a crazy idea. I was surprised to find on opening the next day’s newspaper that John Denver would be in Singapore the following week. I shared the story with my friend Carol who called who her friend Shirley who worked at the hotel where John Denver would be staying. Shirley called me asked me to send a fax for her to pass to John Denver. Shirley reported later that she was standing with fax in hand and John Denver appeared from the lift. She passed the letter to him and John Denver called me on Sunday evening saying how pleased he was that the author enjoyed his songs. This is synchronicity in action. At a significant moment in my life (deciding to get married) I wanted to thank John Denver and two days later he called me at home. There had been no planning, no knowing and no logic, just a synchronistic event that seemed to confirm that getting married was the right thing to do.
