Connectedness: Silly or Synchronistic?

I'm sure you have heard the theory of "one tends to notice the very thing that is on one's thought radar" for instance, when you are planning to buy a house, suddenly you notice all the "For Sale" signs.
Well, i recently bought a car through the kind generousity of friends and supporters. Call me shallow, but i absolutely love the colour. Ironically, I recently thought about the fact that I hadn't seen an exact match of my car on the road. So this morning, just before 10:00am i drove to Media Village to meet up with my outreach team. I noticed a car parked in front of the base exactly like mine (both in colour, make and year) to a point that it frightened me!!! ...to make it more intriguing, there was no spot left for parking except right in front of my car's "twin". So without a choice, I pulled right in front of it.
Within a very short time, a couple of staff at the base noticed the "convoy of two" charcoal black cars. And as we were having fun trying to spot the difference (from inside the building), we saw the owner walking towards his car. He had this strange but delightful look on his face.
Almost on cue, I rushed to the window, stuck my face through and waved at him. I expressively told him I had been curious to see who the other owner was. I spontaneously said "this is a rare occurrence, and it might never repeat itself again in our lifetime"
Have you ever said something and then in hindsight realized its double-meaning or profoundness?
He ecstatically responded with a big grin, asking me some fast-facts about my car. He also told me of how an old lady ran into him from behind, while he was waiting at a red light. It would cost him a fortune to fix the back of his car. I empathised, yet i could not help wonder how effortless the "two moving metals" could create a heart-felt connection with strangers who just met in a minute? Is it really about "cars" or our "wiring" as humans?
Ok, the story continues...Then he pulled out his cellphone and took a photo of our "unique moment in time". I came out of the building, took my one photo, shook the hand of the stranger who introduced himself as Richard. It was a 'hi and bye' but as we said goodbye, it was warm as though we were some two friends who just finished a meal together!
The staff at the base were so thrilled and entertained by our instant bonding, their giggles fueled laughter as Richard drove away. He kept looking through his rear mirror and waving back at us. Everyone was happy :)
Call it coincidence or crazy, it sure was a burst of energy. I couldn’t help thinking about how many of those simple but magical moments we fail to realize and celebrate in our lives due to the noise of reason or analysis paralysis in our heads?" perhaps we have lost the ability to be childlike in our curiousity?
Also, i could not shake off the thought that it had to take a "car" to create a connection that panned out in such a powerful yet playful manner? Isn't there so much more that we share in common? Is it un-natural to see or celebrate the humanity in each one of us?

I have been so lazy about posting blogs, this silly story is my wake up call, as it reminds me all over again about why I started blogging: It's all about connectedness, celebration, communication, creativity, curiousity, consciousness and Christ.
