All Hallows' Eve

My inexpertly carved cheerful ghost jack-o-lantern welcomes you to the all-night cosmic workshop and groovy divination chamber. 

Cosmic Dancer

Being that today is the anniversary of Marc Bolan's death, I was reminded of this odd little T.Rex related synchronicity between my friend Heinrich and me, circa 2004.

For reasons unknown, I'd had the song Cosmic Dancer stuck in my head all day. It's not exactly a radio staple, and it was more than 30 years old by then, but nevertheless there it was.

Later that day, Heinrich came by and we went for a walk. Suddenly he burst out singing Cosmic Dancer - and what's more it was the exact line that had kept running through my mind. I asked him about it and he said "oh, I was listening to that album this morning. Isn't it great?"

It was just a small thing, but a coincidence so vanishingly unlikely that it reminds me that such things may truly be cosmic after all.
