“`There is a Divinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them as we may’ [William Shakespeare, Hamlet]. This familiar idea is a part of the folklore of the common life of many peoples. Again and again, we are reminded by the fact of our own lives that there is an aspect of our experience which seems to be beyond our control and yet which seems ever to manipulate us into position.
“When such things happen, we call them the work of Fate or Destiny, or some other term which expresses our ignorance of what is at work. The most convenient term is coincidence. But this labeling does not indicate that we have defined any terms; we have merely described a situation or a result.”
“ . . . [Is it] Coincidence—Fate—Providence—Chance—or the Purpose of God?”

This wisdom reminds us that we can attune ourselves to the divine synchronicity of the Universe.
Affirm for yourself often: Everything in the Universe is aligning for my best now.
