Joel Elston and Walt Thiessen invite us to expand how we see our place in the world. In their discussion of synchronicity, they point to a deeper interconnectedness that defies what seems possible from a narrow perspective. Joel reflects on how even his most difficult days led to opportunities, if only he remained open. Walt echoes this in sharing his friend's story of unemployment blossoming into unexpected success. Their examples challenge us to rethink what we consider "impossible" outcomes. Perhaps most striking is their vision of each person's journey enriching the whole of existence. As Walt describes it, we are all growing through connections seen and unseen, in ways that continually surprise us. Joel agrees our lives unfold within a far vaster tapestry than we often realize. Rather than dismiss strange "coincidences," they encourage noticing life's mysterious ties as invitations to greater understanding. And in discussing technology's role, they see not limits but new ways to strengthen human bonds. Most of all, Elston and Thiessen shine a light on gratitude - for the gifts within challenges, people who cross our paths, and insights gained from sharing experiences. Their conversation leaves us with a renewed sense of wonder at life's perfect synchronies and a wider view of all that connects us. Episode Page: https://www.loatoday.net/synchronicity
