the law of fives
i have known the law of fives since high school. i never expected my life to be heavily influenced by it, but fives and twenty threes keep popping up all over the place in the most excellent and portentuous of ways.
nothing particularly memorable happened in my 23rd year of life... oh wait, i'm wrong. that's when my personal transformation quest began. that's when i began.
things puttered along for a while, undisturbed by erisian influence, until once upon a time, i met someone. someone who left me her phone number. someone whose phone number was assigned the next available number on my speed dial. the number? 23.
a sign? a signal? i don't believe in that mystical horseshit.
the best teevee show ever, LOST, is clearly written by folks familiar with the law of fives. that must be why i enjoy the show. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
the ring that i wear appealed to me not just because of its design, but also its price. that's right, $23. it's a size 10.
not long ago, something incredible happened to me on a thursday. even less long ago, something even more incredible happened to me on a thursday. which day of the week is thursday? oh yeah, the fifth.
how many times does six go into twenty four? what? four? okay, nevermind on that one.
these are only the things that i can recall off the top of my head. there are surely many more.
still.
my life is not ruled by fives, right? that'd just be too weird.
that'd be just the way i like it.
addendum :
i recently realized the date on which i first told her i loved her: 5/5.
coincidence? right.
I have no additions at this moment, as I'm very tired, but I know you keep and think often about the (your) lifetime of invaluable wisdom I have already shared with you. More to come as needed. And, I DO have HTML tags for style (as if you'd recognize them)! Love you anyway.
