They say that "significant" numbers are a sign that our departed (dead) loved ones are around. The numbers can be anything or any combination -- some meaningful only to the two people involved in the relationship. Some can be more generic, like 11:11. Or same numbers repeated frequently. Or sequences. Or -- probably a couple hundred things I haven't thought of. Or times. Dates.
I work in numbers, and have for many years, so I think I have a good feel for when there is something odd, unusual, and possibly meaningful about the numbers.
695 is one that recurs frequently some nights. As a total, as change, and once even as the amount of money handed to me (11.95 bill; wanted a five back.) 695 is the prefix for Winchester phone numbers; Winchester is where we last lived together.
More fun are sequential numbers. $12.13 or a total. A few customers later there will be a $13.14 bill, and even a $15.16. This pattern almost always goes up. I've never noticed it going the other way.
For a long time, I've enjoyed these numerical forays. I like the idea that they somehow symbolize your presence. (Maybe.)
But I am beginning to find them frustrating.
Numbers should mean something. Should have meaning. Beyond a presence, that is. They should be today's lottery, or how much my paycheck will be, or how many friends I have, or what time I'll wake up tomorrow. You get the idea.
So, if it is you making number magic -- and you were usually rather good at that -- please try to make the numbers have a magic beyond "hello."
Because I like numbers to have intent.
(on the other hand, don't stop saying hello because I'm being picky. Hello backatcha.)
