Omens


It's 4:44 in the afternoon and I find that thrilling. So much more thrilling than 4:45, which it has just now become.

Other thrilling times are 1:11, 2:22, 3:33 -- you get the idea. If you happen to glance at your phone or a digital clock at those times, it's a little jolt. It's special, unlike those plain times like 3:17 or 5:06. One of my life goals is to see every one of them in one day. That has never happened; the closest I've gotten is seeing three in a row.

Imagine it. You go to bed at 10:10 but can't sleep. You toss and turn and look at the clock and it's 11:11. Then it's 12:12. Finally at 2:22 you drift off, only to wake up at 5:55. You try to forget it, but then when you're on your mid-morning coffee break you see that it's 10:10.

What would you do? Would you tell someone or keep it to yourself? Does it mean something? If not, what does?
