Must check that too! And even in Shakespeare remember the 3 crones in MacBeth? <BR/><BR/>And of course, on the other side, there is the Holy Trinity.Wynn Bextonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606284153866696343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10059313.post-1132146741366780232005-11-16T05:12:00.000-08:002005-11-16T05:12:00.000-08:00In France there are lots of old superstitions and ...In France there are lots of old superstitions and old wives' tales. Things happen in threes is a common saying here too. <BR/>Actually the saying goes, 'Bad things come in threes' (I just wrote trees and had to go back and change that, lol) <BR/>I wonder if it's not because of the three old women who cut the thread of people's lives? Or was it something else in Greek mythology?

Diverse backgrounds, beliefs and individual experience will, naturally, color the perceptions of those answering your questions. <BR/><BR/>I don’t believe in random coincidence or luck. My personal journey has instilled the conviction that everything happens for a reason. Whether an experience is so blissful and filled with elation that it saturates the soul with light; or so dismal and anguished it sucks the light out like a vacuum; or seemingly inconsequential, there is <I>always</I> a reason; a message; a lesson. While often veiled and difficult to decipher, the significance becomes evident at some point, sometimes years later. Each message or lesson presents an opportunity for growth, for the evolution of our soul and for the prospect to move one step closer to fulfilling our life’s purpose. While we can’t always control the things that happen to us, we alone have the choice as to how we react to any given situation. In that way, yes, we become the masters of our fate. <BR/><BR/>At least that’s my take on things. ;-)Daisy Dexter Dobbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431829813135214824noreply@blogger.com
