A homeless looking fellow bummed a smoke from me, so I stood up and went over to this fellow and gave him a smoke. a 6 ft long solid metal pole fell from an awning about twenty feet above and crashed into the chair I was sitting in seconds before, It missed me from where I stood by less than a foot. I turned my head at the loud clang, and when I turned back, the gruffy guy was...gone. Though probably lost in the busy crowd. The metal chair I was sitting in had a huge dent in it, the pole probably wieghed about 20 lbs.
The day before my girlfriend gave me a gift, a totem necklace with a symbol of protection on it, to protect me from violent shoplifters at my urban retail job. I was wearing it when this happened, of course.
An angel in disguise as a stranger, and my lovers thoughful gift, two synchronicities in one this event.

Your story reminded me of something that I have heard several times. I don't remember this because at the time I was 18 months old
.
My family and several other people were at a friends house. During the time we were there, one of the worst storms of the century here came it and to keep the basement from flooding two men went out to dig ditches in the yard so it would run off else where. Well, at one point when one of the men was digging, he felt someone tap his shoulder. He looked back and he saw the other guy who was shaking his head. He looked back down at where he was digging and saw a gas line which he had almost hit! He looked back and the other man was on the other side of the yard digging. There was no way, in just a few seconds he could have gotten between the two points. If he had hit that line, the whole building would have exploded with all of us in it!
I'm sure you see why G'Kar's story reminded me of this. Anyway, that's one example of fate or whatever you may call it.
