Recently, while visiting a friend, we chatted casually about places we would like to visit someday. He mentioned Morocco. Now, that is unusually significant to me because, Morocco is a place I have always wanted to visit.
I have never forgotten the day I first heard the story of Morocco while listening to a classmate make an emotional oral presentation in the fifth grade. At the time, I was attending private school and most of my classmates were Air Force kids, so they had already traveled the world, and I was terribly impressed. This particular classmate had just moved to Ohio from Morocco and was without a doubt, "homesick."
I don't remember the specific topic that we were assigned to present, nor do I remember anyone else's presentation—I just remember that he talked passionately about how much he loved Morocco, and I decided at that moment, I would absolutely have to visit there some day.
In the evening of the day my friend and I talked; I happened to catch Sarah Jessica Parker interviewed by David Letterman about her movie "Sex and the City 2" and she gushed about the shoot location—Morocco. The movie got horrible reviews, but that is beside the point. It was a freaky/weird coincidence.
Those who claim to know, say, there are no "coincidences." If that is so, then what does it all mean? Is it fate? Is it destiny? Or, is it just a seed, planted into my subconscious, germinating for a very long time, and now, it has decided to emerge?
I hope the answer sprouts soon. I have a growing need to know. LOL.
