DAY 7: SYNCHRONICITY AND SOLITUDE

Day 7

21st December 2025


Today, the unimaginable happened.


At lunch, I sat outside the Dhamma Hall, staring at a dried-up tree. Most of its leaves had fallen, yet some clung to the branches, dancing in the wind. 


And then… I saw it. Tiny twigs seemed to spell words and numbers; “love,” “no,” “yes.” 


I laughed at myself, asking silly questions, scanning for answers in the delicate movements of the leaves. 


That tree! I could feel it had a personality of its own.


Later, I was given the rare chance to sit in a Pagoda Cell, a small meditation space under the stupa. My turn: 1:00 pm to 2:15 pm. Assigned cell number 7.


Cold, dim and facing a wall, I felt that familiar flutter of fear. 


And then it hit me: 

7 again? 

Mom! 

Day 7 and cell number 7! 

(7th was the date of mom’s passing)


Tears streamed down as I realized she was here, guiding me, comforting me. I spoke to her, shared news from home, thanked her… and my heart soared.


The day ended with an overwhelming sense of joy. 


Synchronicity had appeared once more.


I was never truly alone.
