A coincidental aside. I was hiking with our dog yesterday in the hillside and met a woman who was hiking with her beautiful Australian Shepherd. The dogs were having great fun frolicking on the trail so we chatted a bit. Her dog was named "Theo," short for "theobromine."
So I'm reading the Wikipedia entry for Carob a moment ago and run across this sentence: "Carob pods are naturally sweet, not bitter, and contain no theobromine or caffeine."
I'd never heard of the word or that compound until yesterday and it pops up twice in 30 hours.
It's a sign, I tell you!
I believe in the value of synchronicity; the problem is in figuring out the symbolization and the relative importance of it, when it shows up.
Maybe the Universe is trying to tell you that you’re eating too much chocolate, or drinking too much coffee - who knows? :-)
