The Smallest Coincidence Is More Interesting Than No Coincidence At All

I saw the greatest two things yesterday. First, on my walk, some green buds awakening from the brown, dry branches. Green Life! It has returned at last! I took a picture of it I was so excited (I have to get inspiration for excitement from somewhere). Later, I saw the same kind of plant in front of my house showing its greenness to me as well.
Today I had lunch at a crowded meeting, and sat at a small table for two. As I was getting ready to sit down, alone, someone I didn't know asked if he could sit at the table. The stranger who joined me turned out to be someone I'd talked to on the phone a few times about six months ago. Then, in the evening, he reappeared by picking up his daughter at the same place I go to every night to pick up mine. I wonder what else I'm missing by not being more observant. In the smallest of towns, and the biggest of cities, there are coincidences all around.
After lunch I had an unusually long conversation with someone about Mascarpone cheese. He had never heard of it, and had also never heard of tiramisu.
