1/ Ok, surreal.

I am doing some garden work and a *star shaped ice cube* (pictured, center) falls out of the sky.

I look up (I'm beneath a tree) and see a black crow(?) fly away.

Pretty sure crow collected it from somewhere, + then dropped it. It's only partially melted.

2/ well, you know...

As a fan of Carl Jung, oracular wisdom, divination, synchronicity, etc., I HAVE to see what its symbolism might portend.

Of these, the ace of pentacles seems to 'fit' ...

as @thejessicadore once explained, the "gift from the sky" is an "Ace of" metaphor.

3/ curiously, in searching for the exact card, I can't find it! That exact card has gotten separated from the rest of the deck.

Convinced the universe might be playing some silly YouTube "magic trick" on me. Like David Blaine.

HOW DID THE CROW KNOW

whatever. Synchronicity.

4/ more importantly, those three cards together are unbelievably hopeful + affirming.

They speak to creativity, healing, positivity, possibilities, + "live your life".

I don't know what to make of this but if this is the "message" the universe has for me

I'LL TAKE IT 😄 /fin

5/ ok one small post-script:

What was in the star-shaped ice cube?

Corn, half a peanut, and sunflower seeds.

The crow dropped a small package of bird food, that was wrapped in a star-shaped ice cube.

I'm so. damn. curious right now.

6/ I swear, sometimes life is weirder than any dream.

7/ today I learned about "hagioptasia".

this gets at the inner synchronicities that I find in stories like my encounter with the crow - on one level, yes, I am sure there are perfectly rational and boringly prosaic explanations;

and yet, sometimes ...
