Thinking about a famous author - and there he is!

Shortly after it was published, I bought a copy of Laurens van Der Post's 'About Blaby'. A couple of days later I had to go to my bank in the King's Road, Chelsea. As I walked on the pavement I was thinking about Sir Laurens, his book and his interest in coincidence which had been sparked by his friendship with Jung. Just outside the bank I looked across the road and to my astonishment saw Sir Laurens talking to a man. For no reason at all and as if by magic the traffic stopped and I thought, 'why not?,' crossed the road and approached the great man himself. I introduced myself and explained the circumstances of what had happened pointing out the coincidence, which subject he had often written about especially in his reminiscensces of Jung. 'There you are, it does happen and you have experienced it yourself. How far have you got with the book?' 'About 40 pages.' 'Promise you'll finish it, Its very important you do'. With that I bade my goodbyes, crossed the road and entered the bank.
