Synchronicity of the Sacred Deer

I immensely enjoyed the movie Killing of a Sacred Deer when I saw it several years ago. One of my favorites, I suppose. Though not something I often think about.

Today I happened to read about the movie, Strangerland—which I'm going to start watching in just a moment—and it briefly reminded me of the Killing, and then I forgot all about it.

Now just a moment ago, my spouse said something which reminded me again about that movie, and I said to her something about it. I didn't remember that it was the second time today, and thought nothing of it.

But then, as I went on the internet, on some random site, there was absolutely at random, something like a banner, advertising the Killing of the Sacred Deer.

At first I was just, oh, speak of the devil. Funny, I just mentioned the movie and here it is.

Then I recalled the Strangerland thing. Now I take notice. Three strikes are enough for a synchronicity event.

Like agent Dale Cooper said in Twin Peaks, you should pay attention when this happens. The universe is trying to tell you something.

Synchronicity.

These things happen quite often, to all of us, don't they?

And yet, I've still never managed to decipher the meaning behind a single one of these events. Either it's a really hard game or I'm just really daft.

I'm leaning toward the latter.

Anyway, there's some extra interest here for me, because deer—and indeed, a sacred deer even more so!—happens to hold a very special meaning for me.

I may tell "you all" more about my connection with the sacred deer, some day, on some far future blog post. It's possible. Or I may not. I may be dead tomorrow.

In that case, goodbye forever.
