Synchronicity story:  Envying the Musicians

           It was after I had a conversion experience, after I truly submitted to the Whole,
 to God, to Christ, to the “Higher-dimension Reality”. For me it was an almost
 a traumatic event at the time, almost a death experience.  It was the same day,
 when I was at a concert where I was envying the skill of the musicians, not
 really listening to the music, and was chastising myself for thereby spoiling
a spiritual experience.  
          I wrote all this in my spiritual journal, and then felt an impulse to see what
perhaps lay under a nearby bookcase - might I find a book?
There was indeed a book, a dusty blue book.  And what at the
top of page 69? It turned out to be my edition of Thomas Gray's poems, part of
 his Ode for Music. These are the words I found:

"Nor Envy base, nor creeping Gain,
Dare the Muse's walk to stain,
While bright-eyed Science watches round,
Hence, away, 'tis holy ground!"
