Circumstance, coincidence, blind luck, or Fate? Most of our life goes by with little of interest happening or changing. We get up. We go to school. We go to our work, to our weddings and to our graves, rarely breaking the routine of existence. Events occur in isolation and have no effect on other events or other lives. Sometimes, however, there is an anomaly. Something we don’t understand acts as a catalyst and draws separate lives, separate stories together, changing those caught up in it forever.
